Allemedenilla - Roman Villa 11th Sept

This is the village that Pat has his country house. He is not living here at the moment as it is in need of renovation, and he finds it more comfortable to live in his flat in Priego, when he is not at Edwina's. however he had told us about a Roman Villa there so we went to have a look. Even though it is still classed as 'high' season, there was no one there, we had to hang around for someone to let us in, it is so quiet around here. We could wander at will around the site, and it was incredible!, very well preserved, mosaic flooring, decorated walls, and an industrial sized kiln!

We then walked into the village to check out the bull ring. Not something we condone, but a very attractive building.
