This town is only one hour away and is a very pretty drive past pastures and huge wind turbines. This town has been inhabited by Phoenicians, Romans, Visigoths, and the Moors. The very top of the hill has Roman ruins with a very nice walkway going around. The church has a very beautiful courtyard and a chapel. We climbed to the top of the bell tower where it was incredibly windy, bit an excellent view of the town and surrounding area. We could see the Bay of Cadiz. They are most known for the pastry called the alfajor where we bought some in a shop founded in 1852. It is a nutty log type of thing covered in powdered sugar. Throughout the city are also some arches built by the Moors that are still standing.
