    This is a ruin on my land, with it's lock and key. There are also a couple of mule shoes, they look to Small for horses or ponies, these were found separately near the ruin.
    People left Spain when General Franco was in power, they left everything, because they could not make a living out of farming.
    There are lots of such ruins in Spain today.
    Thank you for looking

      Amazing photo ! Sad what happened but love that the ruins were left and not bulldozed down .
    2. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      We need to do something very soon or it's all going to collapse, I don't want that to happen. It just needs some T L C.
    3. Manikin Manikin, 10 years ago
      Me either maybe some mortar ? You have the most beautiful view ! What a beautiful piece of land you have . I would be in awe every morning looking at your view and the ruins .
    4. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      At the moment it's very hot and dry, but you expect that at this time of the year. The views are great the Med at one side and Mountains all around, yes I'm very lucky. Thank you Manikin.

      Bravo!

      You see a ruin. I see a monument left to be appreciated. Thanks for sharing it, I love the photo's.
    7. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      There is so much to do, everything here is a on going project. Never a dull moment.
    8. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      Yes I think you are very correct in saying it is a monument. It is a part of the history of the people who left.
    9. Virginia.vintage Virginia.vintage, 10 years ago

      Started doing a bit of excavating today.
      It's going to be a big job, it's going to be interesting in what we find.
      In the second photo today we found pieces of wood and what seem to be nails. I cleaned the window sill, doesn't it look lovely. I found lots of terracotta tiles and what looks to be a tile for a window sill.
    14. Virginia.vintage Virginia.vintage, 10 years ago
      Well done! This is very interesting, love it! I will wait for new details ;)
      Thanks so much for share!
    15. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      It going to take a while. At the moment it is really hot, I did a hour.
      In September it should be cooling down, so can get more work done.
      Thanks for your comments if you fancy a trip to Spain and do a bit of digging, lol.
    16. Virginia.vintage Virginia.vintage, 10 years ago
      Lol!!! I will go and will be a pleasure! :)
      You are right, better wait to the first times of autumn, meantime, enjoy the summer! ;)
    17. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      2nd day.
      Dug for 3 hours, hey presto, here is a lovely stone floor. Found more nails, wood, part of I a lock I think Its part of the lock I found yesterday and a round ring which I think is modern.
    18. Virginia.vintage Virginia.vintage, 10 years ago
      Big and hard work, very nice! Love the stone floor too.
      Still you have many to do and its fantastic, day by day, slowly and with calm ;)
      Thanks for share!!!
    19. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      Thank you, Virginia, My face is sunburnt, lol.
      I think I'm going to have to get up earlier, not one of my strongest points.
      If I can get a small path within the ruin I can manage to get the mini digger in to clear the heavier stones at the far end. Well that's what I'm thinking, watch this space
    20. Virginia.vintage Virginia.vintage, 10 years ago
      Lol! Please be careful :)
      Yes, early morning its the best but of course not easy ;)
      True, you need a small path free to can do a more comfortable job.
      Agree with you, a new space but take care ok? Dont forget, slowly ;)
    21. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      I'm sat having a well earned cold beer, yummy. Many thanks Virginia :)
    22. Virginia.vintage Virginia.vintage, 10 years ago
      Great!!! lol! :) Enjoy!!
    23. shareurpassion shareurpassion, 10 years ago
      How exciting!!! I'll be keeping an eye out too, to see what you find. I'm happy for you and wish I one day can do something like this. Wow! Good Luck!
    24. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      Thank you,shareurpassion. I'm looking forward to see what is unearthed.

      Day 3
      Did more than I should.
      Found the door entrance with step, there are a couple of stone tiles missing at the step.
      There is what I can only describe has a step made of of a lovely marble stone. I thought these houses were only one level, it's under the window, if anybody has any ideas.
      Where the door was theres a piece of wood very delicate I think this might be the bottom of the wooden door.
      If you have any ideas please let me know.
    26. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago

      Love the Dalmatian :)
    28. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      Is name his Pongo.
    29. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      He can be very naughty, lol he wouldn't move for the photo so here he his.
    30. Virginia.vintage Virginia.vintage, 10 years ago
      I cant belive, wow! Nice job!!
      So quickly, you had the lovely two dogs help really? :)
      The space more clear now and I agree with you, maybe these type of old contructions were made with a level under the floor as a room to tools, provisions and including some animals in hard winter times.
      I repeat again...slowly and safe, ok? :)
      Thanks so much for share your daily work with us!
    31. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      No they don't help, Millie the Spanish Water Dog is only interested in her ball. Pongo the Dalmation hides during the day and comes out in the evening more sense then me.
      You could be right about the Animals, there is a little part of the ruin which I haven't shown on the photos, I always assume the animals lived in that part.
      Even now when you drive round this area, people still have Goats either under their houses or very close. Very smelly especially this time of year. Thanks Virginia
    32. Virginia.vintage Virginia.vintage, 10 years ago
      Dogs work was a joke of course ;)
      Yes, I saw one with a ball in the mouth, love it!
      Can imagine the smell in summer time,lol!
      Go with patient...may a hidden treasure its waiting for you :)
      Saludos!
    33. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      I doubt very much if there are going to be hidden treasure, but may be fire place, who knows.
      I was wondering on the third photo there is a square hole about half way up. It looks has if was for a wooden beam? There are a few in the same place along the building, surely its to low for a beam.
    34. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      If it was for a floor above then they must have been tiny.
    35. Virginia.vintage Virginia.vintage, 10 years ago
      Yes, I think a fire place can be an option too, I dont know if more tiny.
      Anyway, this is great!!!
    36. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      Day 5. It's looking good.
    37. kyratango kyratango, 10 years ago
      What a job you done!
      The stone floor would have been a wonderful surprise!!!
      As said, be very carefull when moving stones, it could collapse in one second if not secured...
      Love the dogs too, mine are always on our house pictures, showing their butts, lol!
    38. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      Thanks Kyra I'm leaving earth on the right hand side to support the wall it probably needs some (scaffolding), I can't do that.
      I'm enjoying it, I hope there is a fireplace at least :)
    39. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      Rest day tomorrow.

      very mysterious...this could take some siestas before restored,good luck amigo!!!
    47. Virginia.vintage Virginia.vintage, 10 years ago
      Wow, you did an amazing job, looking the photos I think too about how old it is? Really I dont know but looks very antique, its a mistery.
      I remember now on of my favourites books "El Alquimista" by Paulo Coelho, the young man find the treasure hidden in an old ruin in Spain. lol! ;)
    48. Peasejean55 Peasejean55, 10 years ago
      Thanks Virginia, I have found more things but I'm going to put them together on the other site when I have finished. No treasure :( Also thank you for you comment artislove.
    49. Virginia.vintage Virginia.vintage, 10 years ago
      Dont worry for this, just a simple comment ;)
      You found the real treasure in the pleasure of these days working around the wonderful nature, feeling the air and sun and I think sharing with us :)
