#1 Spain – A unique town in a unique location by @digi-me

The streets are extremely narrow and inside the "center" the streets are all one-way. We walked along narrow and steep alleys down to the bottom of the ravine to the houses that have cliffs as roofs. Only the facade of the houses are visible and looks like they are growing out of caves under the mountain.

#2 Wednesday Walk: making merit at Bangkok’s Coffin Temple,ไปทำบุญโรงศพที่วัดหัวลำโพง by @kaminchan

One of the most popular way to make merit or good karma is to donate money for coffins which will be given to poor families without money to buy coffins for dead people. The best known temple for this purpose is ‘Bangkok’s Coffin Temple’ or Wat Hua Lamphong.

#3 Valkenburg castle ruins by @plantfuljourney

In 1937, the restoration workers found secret passages underneath the castle. These passages connected the castle with the Velvet cave where marl was mined at that time. The cave also played an important role in the World War II when it served as a shelter for local people as well as Jews and other refugees.
