Villafranca de Los Barros sights

Hello, everyone. 

We had a pleasant stroll around Villafrance and toured the Ethnographic Museum on the square. (It doesn't open until 7 pm after siedta.) They had a fascinating set of exhibits on prehistoric remnants in Extremadura. They also had several antique sewing machines, some hand-crank and some treadle models. They should really get new belts for the ones that have none.

A prehistoric tomb that was found near Almendralejo. (Diorama)

Embroidery worked by hand on a frame, by a lady of Villafranca de Los Barros. There was a short video, too, with an actress talking about needlework. She talked very well, but was clearly unfamiliar with a hand needle and floss. ;-)

The museum also had a fascinating exibit--probably temporary--of Lego Lord of the Rings dioramas.

The Battle of Helm's Deep, rendered in Legos and displayed on  flat surface. There were many dioramas, including the Black Gates of Mordor and the Ents going to war.

Today we walked 27 km to Torremejia. The weather was clear with a light cool breeze the whole day, very comfortable for walking.
