|
| ALCAZAR is the Spanish Castle , the WORD for medieval fortress in Spain. |
| When the French say Châteaux en Espagne, and they mean castles in the air or sand (like in this picture ) it's only true for manors with vinyards, château-style. |
 |
| Spain has no such manors, yet it is the country of castles, par excellence. |
| When the French imply the utopian dream of a castle in Spain, an Arabian Nights fantasy, they might be right for the mirage of Moorish architecture. The Spanish ALCAZARES are a dream of beauty and elegance, art and science. It' s enough said and the pictures talk for themselves.Click on each picture to visit these ALCAZARES. |
