The Room of Naked People


Continuing our tour of typical Spain, we set off to find a village that Javier’s (Mags’ boyfriend) Dad “used to f*#king own”!

Aracena (meaning expensive meal) is a quaint little village – all the houses are the traditional white (Pueblo Blancos). We wandered around the village and then grabbed a bite to eat.

After food, ‘Javier’s Tours’ took us down into the caves where King Solomon’s Mines was filmed. The caves are full of lots of weird and wonderful sights, including Sala de los Desnudos (The Room of Naked People – see the picture). I wonder how it got it’s name?!? :)

Next stop on the tour was Italica, where there is an extensive collection of Roman remains, including a 25 000 seater amphitheatre.

Final stop of the day was the bar for a few drinks and an English lesson for Patra (Mags’ Sister). She was taught the noun Minger and the verb to ming. Very useful word – until she went home and said “Goodnight Minger” to Mags – d’oh!
