“I have seen dawn and sunset on moors and windy hills coming in solemn beauty like slow old tunes of Spain.” – John Edward Masefield

Photographing Guadalajara
The thrill of shooting the Pantheon of the Duchess of Sevillano was only surpassed by the private tour of the majestic toomb located in the interior of the building, where photographs are not allowed. We were also able to get some drone shots of the exterior and roof during the day which came out quite well.
A 45 minute drive then took us to the Monastary of Monsalud in Córcoles which is as beautiful as it is old. It was one of the most important Monastaries of the Middle Ages in the Iberian Peninsula andtThe first reliable document where it appears dates from 1167.
