Calpe, Donkey Sanctuary, Guadalest, etc

Dave and my trip to Spain in June to visit his parents. The weather was surprisingly cold and rainy, but we managed to meander up to the hill town of Guadalest, do some wine tasting at the Virgin Pobre winery and eat lunch on another steep precipe disguised as a donkey sanctuary. odd, but good.

Surrounded by the Aitana, Serella & Xorta Mountains, Guadalest was a strategic military stronghold with fortifications dating back to 715AD and the period of Moorish occupation of Spain.
