A new town reveals itself slowly - good parts, bad parts, scenic parts, curious parts. This building is, for example, in great disrepair but was a powerful eye-catcher for me as I wandered around town - it has character. Its progressive layers of deterioration create a fascinating story of a life that I can only imagine.
Most folks walk by without even noticing it.
Layer upon layer of rock, brick, stucco, paint - lifetimes of use and stories of lives within.
Did the owner fall on hard times, or, pass away, or, is waiting for the market to turn?
Elsewhere, a downtown fountain and statuary in central Jerez.
Not every place can successfully paint their exterior in such bold blues and golds but this restaurant managed it quite well.
A cobblestone street, a red dedicated bike lane, and some doorway graffiti caught my eye.
This archway of jacaranda trees on Calle Porvera will turn a blazing purple later in the year. What a sight that must be! It takes foresight and vision to plant trees for how they might look 50 years in the future.
