This is where the money goes....

There's usually somebody collecting money in Juviles, and it's usually "pa' la igle'ia"; or more precisely the cleaning, restoration, roof or bell for said church. And a sweet wee 16th century building it is too, although there isn't much inside except for old San Sebastian (who's getting his annual stroll around the village in the videos in my last post).

Last summer the clock was finally reinstated, so I think the restoration is more or less complete. The bell rings on the quarter hour and you can hear it throughout the village. It's surprising how quickly you get used to it, although it can't be much fun for the bats roosting in the belfry. Above is a shot of the church taken from the town hall square, while below there's a longer shot from the other side, looking over the village from the mirador by the swimming pool. Our house is visible in this shot - it's the highest building on the right-had side, with three chimneys.
