Got there in the end

Right next to the cathedral in Orihuela is the museum of sacred art which we went to yesterday with the students from the adult classes in Bigastro.

First job was to find somewhere to park the car. That done we had to find the museum. Pam and I originally thought we were visiting the new Pedrera museum that has just opened with a collection paintings donated to it.

In the picture bottom right you can see the place where the museum is housed. As you can imagine, this would originally been an open cloister without the roof and those windows on the upper storey would not have been there. Now it is all temperature controlled with dimmed lighting to protect the precious artefacts.

It looks like Pam and I will have to visit the Pedrera museum on a different day.
