Another Pueblo Blanco. The most famous restaurant here is a middle eastern place. It was closed for siesta when we were by. We had an authentic breakfast which started with extremely fresh orange juice, then hot chocolate and toasted bread with jamon. In the guided tour we went to a cathedral that was once a mosque and then another time it was a synagogue. The minaret became the bell tower. There are even still stars of David painted on the exterior. Half of the structure was Moorish built and then the Christians added more. The two styles of construction were very clear. All of the inner courtyards were once cisterns with a well bucket to get the water. The cisterns were blocked off when the Malaria became uncontrollable. All of the landscaped areas were incredibly well manicured.
