The church in our village of Torre del Compte is still undergoing restoration work. However, the work on the tower has been completed.
With our friend Lola, who is now the mayor of the village, we paid a visit to the top of the tower.
The views are amazing in every direction.
Looking east, in the far distance are the Ports de Beceite, the range of mountains which separate us from the Mediterranean.
To the south our house on the right with the ermita to the left look as though they're in the middle of the countryside - well, ours is the last, or maybe the first, house in the village.
To the north you can see the viaduct which was the old railway line crossing the Rio Matarraña and is now the Via Verde.
To the west, you can see along the Matarraña valley and make out the road bridge which leads into the village.
The inside of the church still needs a lot of work...
...but the tower will be standing for a few hundred years more.
