How the hell are we supposed to guess that!

Maybe if I could guess the type of building first - a museum perhaps?



Still waiting for the name of my pueblo blanco by the way........

Don´t know of any poets from there.

Famous for leather.
Famous for the bullfighter "Jesulin de ........."

Not Grazalema, nor El Bosque. Right next door though!

Oh and that skylight one, that was waaaay to easy. Couldn´t you make it any more challenging than that?

Correct, Atocha. The site that was attacked by terrorists. I think about 200 - 300 were killed and 1000+ injured.

A slightly different one (cos I am running out of photos of Spain!)

Where in Spain is this painting housed? and name of the artist please?



I went there about 6 months ago and well worth a visit if anyone interested. My fave museum so far!

I am disappointed that you are not trying as hard as you could.

It is in Spain, it is a very famous part of Spain and the cradle of a particular religion there!

A religion of the non-catholic variety?

Or is it somewhere along the camino de santiago de compostela?

You are close with one, but this "form" of a religion pre-dates the pope!
