Two penguins tilt at windmills

Bill Tilting...

We did it. Travelled across the plains of La Mancha in search of windmills to tilt.

But there they were - 11 windmills on the horizon along with a ruined castle.
We are now spending the night in Cordoba before heading further south. It is already warming up.
