It was 40 degrees C today but it didn't stop us making our way up the hill using the elevator accessed off main street. We even climbed the 238 stairs for superb views over Lleida from the top of the bell tower. The cathedral itself is a fascinating place. Still standing and looking good but the ravages of so many wars, battles and misuse have made there mark. Part of the fascination of the place though.

Well, we really enjoyed our visit although we did not go inside. We had decided to visit Lleida on our way home from the coast but after I had made the booking, I was unsure that there would be much activity in the city on a Sunday. It was a lovely day, the last Sunday in October and we decided to go up to the church. From the square there are steps, but also a lift and an escalator that can be taken half way up and then there is another lift which goes almost all the way to the top. The views were stunning and we found that there was a fiesta in progress. There was a classic car rally, a group of drummers, line dancing, people dressed up in old uniforms, archery, stalls selling local produce etc. It was great. We had our dog with us so could coy go inside so we will leave that for another visit. I had read reviews saying that it was a crumbling edifice, but we found it interesting and beautiful. There is a nice cafe near the top with views over the river and the prices are less that you would expect. Well worth the visit and I hope to come back again.
