We stopped in
Ecija briefly in 2010, one of our earliest experiences trying to drive a 6m camper into a medieval warren. After backing up a ways, with crowd assistance, we parked precariously, and I ventured out briefly for a look. En route from Seville to Cordoba in 2017, we stopped again at Ecija, easily found a great parking area, then spent a couple hours exploring the beautiful old town of towers and old buildings. When we were in Ecija in 2010, things looked rather run-down. Clearly there has been a change...

Oh well, back to retirement, traveling, and towers |
