Second Hand Life.

We have the most extraordinarily beautiful old building that is in terrifically bad shape, but good enough still to house the town’s only true charity shop.  It’s history is a grand one, it once was the home of a member of the Aristocracy, when there was a time when there was an Aristocracy in this town. Maybe money is quieter these days. Coveting not allowed.

Anyway, I spent some time there today, and got some very interesting shots.  When you come to Salobreña, you must go to this shop, if for no other reason than to look at this house and see what it must have been like in the day.  Enjoy!
