A old tunnel in a back garden in Spain

Imagine coming in from the street to this inner court

and to the garden where I stood when I took this photo.

Then, in that back garden, you could walk down into

some really old tunnel/s.

A boy of around ten held a torch as we entered the

tunnel and walked inwards.

It was like being transferred to another time.

Spooky!

Then everything became pitch black, so I never saw

how far you could go.

Where had the tunnel/s originally led too?

Who had built them?

Had they been used in wars for hiding or escaping?

The kids and those of us with - perhaps -

a childish imagination and much fantasy,

loved it!

PS. One of the family members with connection to this

house wrote, after reading this:

They say that in the past the old tunnel of the back garden connected

the house with the castle of the village, but this is just a beautiful fairytale:

in my opinion the most probable use of the tunnel was simply to

keep wine bottles.
