The Plaza El Toros in Ronda, Spain. It’s one of the oldest in Spain and was constructed over a period of six years and inaugurated in 1785 with a corrida featuring Pedro Romero and Pepe-Illo.

Athens never sleeps, and this market was open at 12:30 am on a Sunday night. The street was a fairly major road, but that didn’t stop the two old men from pulling out their chairs and enjoying the night air. You might also notice them checking out the young woman in blue.

Deep in the lower haight, we used to have to wash our clothes at this little throwback laundrymat on the corner of Haight and Pierce. The best part was the fiberglass seats from the 70′s, often filled with the homeless taking a nap.

A giant central lagoon, more or less rectangular, and measuring about 12 km by 7 km (8 mi by 4 mi), is surrounded by 300 m (984 ft) high steep cliffs on three sides. The island slopes downward from the cliffs to the surrounding Aegean Sea. On the fourth side, the lagoon is separated from the sea by another much smaller island called Therasia; the lagoon merges with the sea in two places, in the northwest and southwest. The water in the centre of the lagoon is nearly 400 m (1300 ft) deep, thus making it a safe harbour for all kinds of shipping. The island’s harbours are all in the lagoon and there are no ports on the outer perimeter of the island, and the capital, Fira, clings to the top of the cliff looking down on the lagoon.
