The old town of Caceres is an almost perfectly preserved walled city. Most photogenic, the crowds come with cameras, often big ones which has been a pattern I have noticed recently.
The tour groups are normally not so early. When they arrive some have matching scarves, like the bells around the necks of the sheep in the fields a few kms back. It is how the shepherds have ways tended their flocks.
This local, at peace, was enjoying a quiet moment in this almost serene of spaces - as I walked past the bells arrived to shatter his moment. He knows the pattern - it was his cue to move on, take the dog home and begin his working day.
