Talavera la Vieja

Guadalupe | Las Hurdes | Monfrague | Plasencia | Talavera la Vieja | Trujillo

A rather dull day at the ruins of the Curia portico, displaced from their original site when the dam was built and the town of Talavera la Vieja (otherwise known as Augustobriga) was submerged in the Valdecañas reservoir. What is it that drives graffiti artists to display their craft on Roman ruins? Derelict buildings, hoardings, tatty old garden walls and otherwise barren sites, fine, but historic remains? So much for youf cultya.
