We realised that it had been over twenty years since we last visited and there had been extensive renovations and more areas open to the public. I am always fascinated by the view over the the tall walls, with the beauty and serenity of the gardens contrasting with the activity and noise of the Alcaview5city below

We then went to our favourite tapas bar in the centre, where we enjoyed a very tasty and cheap lunch.
