Military History Photo Friday: A Castle in Northern Spain

We've been having an unseasonably warm and sunny week here in Cantabria, so last weekend the family and I went to San Vicente de la Barquera, west along the coast from where we live in Santander. It's been an important fishing port since medieval times and has this fine little castle guarding the harbor.

It was built in the 13th and 14th centuries and is the best preserved medieval castle in Cantabria. Unfortunately we couldn't get inside because it was just closing as we got there.

Below you can see the church of Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles and part of the old city wall. The church was closed too!
