Castilla de Coca

I've seen some great things here in Spain, but since I've been here the castle tops it all. I had such a wonderful day going to all the different cities with castles. Our first stop was at Castillo Coca. It was by far my favorite. I had never been to a castle before and this by far overreached my expectations. It was beautiful! Also, I learned a lot about the history and the art that was put into the castle. We were able to see a lot of examples of art mudéjar which we were learning about in another class so that was really helpful for me to be able see and touch examples of art from hundreds of years ago. I was surprised there was a secret room. I think it's amazing that although people from that time period had none of the technology and services we have today were still able to create amazing and beautiful structures like this. I definitely felt that I took a step into the past and was able to see a little bit of the history of Spain right in front of me. It by far was one of my favorite places I've ever seen!
