Yes, i have been to the mountain top!  

 What a view this was from the place where the castle in Pedraza was. I notices most of these castles make it a point to be surrounded by very low points of land. Obviously for protection from invading forces in the past. Looking down on the castle moats was an amazing sight. I'm usually never afraid of height but dang! I got that feeling in the gut, the one that lingers inside while you're looking down from a high tree or in this case atop an old castle. 

The highest point on the trip in the Ruta de los Castillos was definetly the one shown here. This was the area directly behind the castle and it was one of the scariest. Me and a few others in the group managed to get on a rock/cliff that was protruding out of the back of the castle and sat down. I was frightened when Isaac  ( which i didn't know at the time) was under us, had thrown a light bulb up. Imagine all of a sudden a bulb floating in front of your face. i thought i had gone insane!

Either way, tons of fun. it's been a while since I've seen the kind of scenery I saw yesterday. The excursion was very well planned and even more nicely executed.
