Trujillo

The Main Plaza in Trujillo.
In the middle ground you'll see a statue; it's a statue of Pizarro—the infamous conquistador who went to Peru. This is his birthplace.
Despite that, it's a rather idyllic town with a gorgeous view of the surrounding area from the fort on the top of the hill.

Fountain in the main plaza. Taking a rest before our climb to the top of the hill.
The Plaza was bustling with people. There were a number of children kicking around soccer balls and having all sorts of fun, which made it an enjoyable place to be for the day.

"A view from the top"
Here I am on top of one of the many guard posts/towers in the fort, which was originally built by the Arabs when they occupied Trujillo before the Reconquista. It was such a well fortified town, that it was their last strong hold in Extremadura against the Catholic Monarchy.

More views of the town and surrounding areas from the fort.

There were storks everywhere in Extremadura. I don't believe that I've ever seen one before, so to then see them everywhere was so cool. They make this really interesting clicking noise with their beaks. Yeah, I know random fact.

Of the three places we visited in Extremadura, Trujillo was by far my favorite. It's such a gorgeous little town of less than 10,000 inhabitants. I'm glad it was our last stop on the trip this weekend, and I'm so grateful that the weather was stupendous this weekend. :-)
(More pictures to come, but I'm going to bed now because more classes are starting this week, and I have to wake up early to get to school)
