That's so neat! I like the look of this. Does this river change in height with the tides? It looks like there is water marks along the bottom of it.

@JimFox I guess so as the tower is just a mile from Atlantic Ocean.

I love the architecture of this castle - especially the details in the turrets. The style of the building is a great example of the influence of the Moors when they were in Spain.

Yep, that makes sense. The Tides in Europe travel so far compared to here in the US.

The B&W suits the subject well. The structure looks to be in excellent condition.
