[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 880373, member: 537"] I actually don’t think that video about Aréavlo captures the real beauty of the town. It didn’t focus enough on the larger space, just the specific buildings, IMO. Too much driving in cars, and WHO would roller blade on cobbled streets???? Rant over, it does show the many historic buildings. ;) Arévalo has three main plazas, all close to each other. The first, the busy hub of the real place, [URL='https://www.rutasconhistoria.es/loc/plaza-del-arrabal-arevalo'][I][B]the Plaza del Arrabal,[/B][/I][/URL] with shops, cars, the church with remains of the patron saint, and lots of activity. The second, very nearby, is the Plaza del Real, which is where the ayuntamiento and some other official buildings are located. The third is a totally preserved historic arcaded space anchored with two churches and a museum, Plaza de la Villa. It was a bit jarring to be in the middle of a busy town but in a space with no human activity, no cars, buses, no cafés and almost no people. The plaza itself is devoid of all references to the modern world, except for those of us who walk into the space. And the mudéjar churches are really quite beautiful. I understand that we can’t pickle the past in a jar, but this is one of the few places I have been to where the modern world had been totally held at bay. You can suspend reality for a while, an easy place to sit and think. I can’t remember another place like it. And the castle is impressive, though I don’t believe we went inside.
