It may be a stunning photograph (and a great article), but it is not of the Castillo de Loarre. This is my photograph from last September

I've just done a Google image search for the Castillo de Loarre and find that many views are similar - some the same - as the one in the article. Perhaps its taken from a particular angle? The tower, the pointed roof and the rounded battlements look the same.

This one is from http://www.romanicoaragones.com/0-English/



And it was also featured on a stamp

Further, eye-squinting, examination suggests that the features are the same, but the proportions are not. Someone may have pulled some post-production work to elongate the castle's height?
