But, to break up\u00a0a 6-hour long trip from Madrid, we decided to stop in C\u00e1ceres for the night. C\u00e1ceres is a medieval town that is close to the border of Spain. Oh, and we discovered that the old town was built entirely from\u00a0rock. We even lived in a house that was also made out of rock! The earliest remains of C\u00e1ceres date back to 29 BC, back when C\u00e1ceres was called Caesarina! Here is how C\u00e1ceres looks like:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The next day we went to the Museo de C\u00e1ceres (Museum of C\u00e1ceres). It has a giant carriage that wheels are two times bigger than Evan (I might be overexaggerating), and a lot of tombstones. Some of them have ancient writing on them! There were also these big scary costumes that were probably used to scare away evil spirits. Then we went into achamber that, a long time ago, was used as some kind of (do not blame me if I&#8217;m wrong) water basin. And it smelled as if the place was hundreds of years old! It was, though.<\/p>\n<p>After that we decided to climb the Dos Torres (Two Towers). The ladders were very narrow, long, and steep. But the ladders were worth it. The view was pretty good. You could see all of the old town and most of the new town too! We got down and went to get some ice cream. The person who was giving us the ice cream turned out to be Moldovan and knew how to speak Russian. The Dulce de Leche ice cream flavor is super good (I got Pi\u00f1a).<\/p>\n<p>C\u00e1ceres was a nice place. Next stop: Lisbon, Portugal!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1608 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div
