This archeological dig scene is at the entrance to Cuevas de Nerja. You can see the explanatory signs, so suspect it might be an interpretation, not necessarily the real thing. Nonetheless, they claim there were cave paintings here that are 20,000 years old.
To give full credit, this photo is on Wikopedia, but we visited this crypt below the floor of the Capilla Real of the Grenada Cathedral, and felt the emotional impact of viewing the remains of icons of western culture and, of course, the remains of the financiers of Christopher Columbus' discovery voyage. Never mind that they also empowered the Spanish Inquisition.
Rossio is spectacular, as is Elevador Santa Justa, which was designed by Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard, an apprentice of Eiffel. The building at the other end is the theater, Teatro Nacional Dona Maria II. The tile pattern was installed in the mid-19th century, and has earned the square the name "Rolling Motion Square"
We didn't spend enough time in Toledo to really see the city. Visited El Greco's paintings, and some of the sites, but missed the Alcazar, which may have been closed for renovation anyway. Location tag under picture is incorrect.

Torre del Oro (Tower of Gold) houses a wonderful museum, and was part of a city wall built by the Moors.
Our parador was near the New Bridge or Puente Nuevo, (I think) (shown). Somehow we were "upgraded" to a room on the top floor with a huge deck.

Estimates of the age of the abandoned castle in the background may be faulty, but probably Moorish in origin, so 12th century.
