Her name is dame

The Dame of Elche is regarded as the most important piece of Iberian art dating from the 4th -5th century BC. She was found in Elche in 1897, subsequently sold to the Prada museum in Madrid. She is normally kept at the Archeological Musuem in Madrid but is currently back in Elche where she is on display in the museum there.

Yesterday we spent the day in Elche and apart from seeing the Dame we climbed the 163 steps to the top of the Basilica tower, took the train ride round the palm park and visited the shops.
