Illescas - In Pictures



The original Puerta (Gate) to Illescas - still standing



Calle Real - Connected the two gates of Illescas -
the road from Madrid and the road to Toledo (the original capital of Spain)



One of the two major Catholic Churches in Illescas

The 2nd Catholic Church

All good towns have a bull ring - Illescas, an older town,
has one of the more modern ones with a retractable roof

And of course, every town has a Plaza Mayor

The Youth Center - Located on the side of town we are hoping to live -
they offer free and low cost activities for youth and families -
 great relationship opportunities

Community Pool

One of 2 Community Sport Areas -
 of course they have soccer fields at both

Illescas has several parks - one is on the north side -
the area where we are looking to live

One park has walking/bike paths that lead around the side of town

A taste of "old town"

Illescas has a larger industrial area - much is related to carbon fibers -
the area of textiles that Scott worked with - another "door" for relationships

Airbus has a factory where they make the horizontal tail pieces - again, related to
carbon fiber technology
