Hervas rooftops

Hervas, Cacares Province.
I first visited this town in 1986 and was charmed. This visit was in 2016 and the town had deteriorated markedly. It still called itself a tourist attraction but it was neglected, run down, filthy and it stank. A great disappointment.,

Andy Rodker replied to Gudrun:

If you look carefully at the two walls on the left, you can see that they have been shored up or repaired using the cheapest materials. Corrugated iron is everywhere in this town. This shot was the best I could do to avoid all the rubbishy stuff! No civic pride, and no planning restrictions at all or, if there are, then they have been completely ignored and the place looks a total mess.

that's such a shame - it's so disappointing when you go back to somewhere you have fond memories of us, and it's gone downhill.

I do like the fat little white cloud peeking over the distant hills.

The white cloud saved it from being unshown!

It's always distressing when you have fond memories of a place, and then find it's gone downhill. But the peeking cumulus is a nice touch!
