These photos were taken in Castellar de la Frontera in Cadiz, Spain. The Moorish castle dates from the 13th Century and many of the outlying buildings and casa rurals are occupied by squatting hippies selling their wares. The hippies began squatting in the castle in the 1970s and currently, the government is trying to reclaim the village. The castle has been somewhat reclaimed and is now a parador for visitors. The day we were here was clear and we could see Gibralter and Africa from the castle. We also ate at an amazing little bar. The road to get to the castle is long and winding, essentially big enough for a small car to maneuver the curves. However, we met three full-size tour buses on the road and were certain that we or the buses would be hurled over the edge of road at any moment. Lots of fun!!

if you are bringing things back, i would like a castle. no hippies, please. if you are mailing it, that wild haired child would probably fit in there pretty well and you should send him, too.
also, did you notice we live in jamaica? because we do.
