Castle of Santa Ana, Castro Urdiales (No. 1)
The castle of Santa Ana is a fortress located on a rocky promontory in Castro-Urdiales, on a peninsula where there is also the fortified church Sta. Mª de la Asunción (xiii century), the ruins of another previous church (that of San Pedro, from the xii century), and the hermitage of Santa Ana, built as a watchtower, linked to the castle by a bridge. The complex has very good views of the sea, the port and the town. A lighthouse was built inside the enclosure in 1853, whose machinery occupied the chapel. It is one of the best preserved castles in northern Spain.
It has a pentagonal floor plan with cylindrical corner towers 15 meters high, which protect a rectangular enclosure of 22.75 x 12.35 meters; Inside this, in turn, there is a hall of 17 x 7 m covered by a barrel vault. One of the cylinders is actually covering a triangular space that advances from the inner rectangle towards the villa, while the other four act as buttresses of the vault of the living space. Another defense, crenellated and lower, is visible in the part of the lighthouse. It completely lacks gaps, so that the defense could only be done from the towers. The factory is made of cyclopean stones taken with lime. The castle, as well as the citadel, was protected by a wall between 6 and 7 meters high, which preserves a small canvas very deteriorated with the original battlements and merlons.
The access is located on the sea side, through a small door.
It is not known for sure when the castle was founded, speculating that the beginning of the works could coincide with the foundation of the town; However, the founding charter has not reached us. A defensive structure probably existed even earlier.
The current building began its construction in the twelfth century, undergoing various modifications and additions and being abandoned in the sixteenth century.
During a restoration in the twentieth century the lighthouse keeper's house, built inside the enclosure, was demolished. Along with all of Puebla Vieja de Castro-Urdiales, it was declared a historic-artistic site in 1978.

I think people don't realize how alienating it is when you have to use a mobility device to go places and the place is inaccessible. When people say "sorry, but you can't come in here. There's no room for your wheelchair" because the room is packed with things (like an antique store where they don't want you bumping into fragile items). You technically don't NEED to go into that room yes, but it's just another way we are alienated from everyone else.
For someone who cannot stand and/or move unassisted, this is so much more infuriating. How can people be so okay with denying access to a portion of the public based solely upon things they can't control? And they are allowed to get away with it under the excuse of "historical property" or "we are just a widdle small business we can't afford a wheelchair ramp :(" I hate having to check Google to see if a place is accessible, to have to call ahead because Google is only right half the time. I've reported many places to the ADA but Ive never heard back about them.
If you can't afford accommodating everyone, you shouldn't be starting a business. Just like how if you can't afford to pay your employees a living wage you shouldn't be starting one. Accessibility should be part of the budget just as much as electrical and plumbing. It shouldn't be put into the amenities section.
As an ambulatory user, I can technically go inside without my wheelchair, but it feels like I'm being forced to give up a piece of myself, like a leg or an arm. I feel like I'm being forced to endure the pain my wheelchair alleviates just to eat at a restaurant or look at some pretty antiques. I wonder what would happen if I couldn't move without my wheelchair (what will probably happen in a decade or so). Will I no longer be able to have these experiences? I feel angry for the people who currently have to deal with being denied entry.
It's further infuriating when my wheelchair use is treated as something I do for extra comfort, like it's a pair of slippers or a massage chair. Something that adds extra comfort, not something vital to it.
I've been asked by my friends "can't you just walk this time? It would save so much time. I don't want to have to walk all the way around just to find a ramp. Just get up and we will carry your wheelchair over the bump/stairs/obstacle" they've seen me walk on good days. They see me able to lift my chair into my car (something I have to save energy for and that is extremely painful). Even though they have seen my bad days, it's like they are overshadowed by the days I'm able to fake being okay.
People see accessibility as a nice thing to have, not something that is required.
For people like me who can get by without it on good days, people treat me as stubborn or selfish when I refuse to stand up or am taking up space. My parents are confused why I take my wheelchair onto the bus when I could just fold it up and sit ""normally"".
I just wish people would understand that it's no one's decision but mine when I decide to use my wheelchair vs walk. That they have no right to pressure me. But I'm treated like I'm the selfish one. And people wonder why I don't ask for help. Because then I'm not in control anymore. People can decide to stop pushing me up a steep hill if they get tired and then ask if I can walk the rest of the way. Which I will have to do because I can't wheel myself up the steep hill. Or I'll just go back down and find a different way to get up the hill. Which of course pisses them off because "all their work was for nothing".
Idk if this post is just coming off as me rambling or venting, but I'm just so tired of being treated like this. Only helped when it's convenient. Only respected when it's convenient. I deserve to at least be respected and I deserve accessibility even if it isn't convenient, cheap, or #aesthetic. And everyone of all support needs do too.

Secured the lighthouse. Worked on the [illegible]. Fixed things. And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Came then the crying call of a curlew, and at dawn, too, I heard the hooting of an owl, the yap of foxes. Just a little ways up from the lighthouse, where I strayed for a bit, a bear cub poked its head out of the underbrush, looking around like any child might. And the hand of the sinner shall rejoice, for there is no sin in shadow or in light that the seeds of the dead cannot forgive.

LIGHTHOUSES
I love lighthouses and will see the one in Key West in January. I always have a calendar of lighthouse. I won a raffle, last week, of a box with lighthouse stuff including a replica of a lighthouse from Maine that is red and white with a working light in its tower and includes the keepers house. I have lighthouses on my brain today and wrote this poem.
The walk to see the distant lighthouse,
Entices me,
Wishing I could be there when its’ light swings
In circles of warning,
Brushing the land, rocks and sea
With saving beams and grateful sailors
Saying amen and thanks.
How many ships and lives did the keeper save?
Countless, I suppose and my imagination flies,
With drama, close encounters and near misses,
I walk the inside spiral staircase,
Approach the marvelous light with awe,
Look out to see the shores protected,
The small islands and inlets,
Beautiful dangers guided only at night by buoys and the
Luminous sparkles with warning shafts
Do their job and steadfast-ingly shine and twirl in the black night.

Medieval Bridge, Castro Urdiales
The often misnamed "Roman bridge" by the whole world, is also located in the port, in front of the Rock of Santa Ana.
However, the construction of this bridge is located in the Middle Ages, although due to a storm the upper part had to be rebuilt some years ago.
It is built in stone in the shape of an ogival arch and was part of a set of bridges and footbridge that joined the promontory where the castle-lighthouse is located with the hermitage of Santa Ana isolated from the earth since the rock was surrounded by the sea until the construction of the current port.
The bridge and the footbridge sisters of this, were demolished in the early twentieth century to facilitate the installation of the machinery responsible for building the breakwater.
At the foot of the bridge, the presence of a sea inlet confined in a large construction as a quadrangular stone pool that fills and empties according to the level of the tide is surprising.

my judgement toward a wickie character from kojima will be merciless, not only because that is already the role of preppers you meet in the game, lone but most humane sender of letters, and it's not as if MGSV had the most important shot with the cyprus lighthouse for backdrop, but if that's really the wide ocean out there, sharp edges to shipwreck on, that wickie in question better be everything to me
