Wow! Look at that.
Is the weather changing for Autumn-Winter? Or is it just the weekend?

I thought the name was rather strange and have tried to find out to what it refers:

I checked with Google and all I could find was, "Morte Realeza Fatos França Morte de Catherine de Valois." Catherine de Valois was the wife of Henry V and died in 1437.

In the background is the Castillo de San Anton, which was built in the XVI century and protected the Port against Sir Frances Drake in 1589 and later became a prison and is now a museum.



From our window at lunch time.

A lot of history in one photograph. :)
