IF. Live curious. National Geographic




If you are, you breath. If you breath, you talk. If you talk, you ask. If you ask, you think. If you think, you search. If you search, you experience. If you experience, you learn. If you learn, you grow. If you grow, you wish. If you wish, you find. If you find, you doubt. If you doubt, you question. If you question, you understand. If you understand, you know. If you know, you want to know more… And if you want to know more, you are alive…

Los Picarazos. Villaverde del Guadalimar

It is a very beautiful place in Villaverde del Guadalimar. You have a nice sight of the Sierras de Alcaraz and Segura from here. 

They are formed by big stones with form of feet and toes.

The Tejo stream is a tourist Paradise of Villaverde del Guadalimar. There is a centenary tejo that gives its name to the stream.
There are some  waterfalls and a small swimming pool.
Here we can have parties and some celebrations in summer. we can also swim in it.
It is two kilometers away from the village.
In its surroundings we can find the place where the Pernales was killed.

Agua square. Siles


Plaza del agua in Siles
 The Plaza del Agua is a square surrounded by old houses and big trees. It has got a fountain in its centre and some benches. Children play football in this place and old people sit down in the benches to talk when the weather is hot. The town hall was in this square, but now it is in a new building near hear. 
We like this square a lot because it is very nice and quiet.
