Aracena, Spain.......no bacon just bits.

Aracena a small town in southern Spain, with a population of about 8,000, you turn up and find that one of its foremost attractions is a museum of ham!

I kid you not, El Museo del Jamón de Aracena consisting of seven rooms following the history, and traditions surrounding the famous Iberian pigs! Fascinating, no free samples, give it a miss.

Another of its attractions are a series of under ground caves, Gruta de las Maravillas. I visited, splendid! No photography allowed. Crap.

Lets take a stroll.

It is a peaceful town where the old folk sit

Aracena´s Open-Air Museum was established in 1986 due to the passion and lobbying of a local sculptor Pepe Noja.

Currently the exhibition is made up of about fifty sculptures by prestigious artists; they are situated in various spots around the town.

mmmmm boobies

The art work has totally transformed the old St. Peter’s Square, where we are.

Lavadero Fuente de Concejo, was an important work just off the square of San Pedro. It was inaugurated in 1927. The laundry being supplied by an existing spring.

No washer women about today, they must all be at home doing the hoovering and dusting.

Or sitting in the park smoking fags.

Definitely cancelled now.

Yes, that is the Spanish attitude - mañana , and actually what would be better in a little town like this one? Being in a rush is cancelled here! And a good jamón also needs many mañanas to be good 😋

(there must be a scientific explanation for the fact that they don't let you take pictures in the cave)

Great!

Excellent photography captured of the town folk, know how to live a long life..., do it slowly!

Art around the city brings a touch of different being more modern compared to most.

That is beyond most people. Then moan about their standard of living.
