Geometry in Cabrils

We’ve just spent an hour or two in Cabrils. It’s a rather desirable little town near here that’s got itself a bit of a reputation as a gastronomes’ haven. The cafe we chose for a mid-morning break didn’t bear that out, but it was good enough. We were more struck by a clutch of fine buildings: the church with its glazed tile bell-tower; the original town school, now repurposed as a School of Music, ordinary houses with handsome windows; and especially , round and about in the surrounding countryside, castle after castle. The one at the edge of town, which had probably never been defensive and is now abandoned seemed a bit sad. It looked ripe for conversion into fine flats or a luxury hotel.

Sorry about the TV ariel by the church. I couldn’t find a view, in those narrow winding streets that avoided it, Here, below, is that castle I mentioned, and one outside town too. All with geometry firmly employed in their contruction.

  1. I am not usually a first commenter! I guess it’s what happens when I am staying home to stay away from people today. I hopefully, I’ll be well enough to be back tomorrow. I am enjoying your geometry challenge and your trip to Spain. I hope you are enjoying your visit.

    1. Oh I miss mud no end! We’ve got a coldish week at the moment. Tops of only 10 – 12 degrees. Which is fine. And still gem-discovering weather.

  7. There is so much symbolism in the television antenna. Humanity continues to reach for the sky and yet the sky remains a mystery!!! Love the photos, Margaret.
