Raul, thank you so much for your photo!! It's an incredible place, and incredible shot. I love the sharpness, and colors, also you were lucky to catch this dramatic sky with clouds touching the mountain tip. Looking at this picture, I feel so inspired to visit this place.

Hi Raul,
Interesting composition to show an historical city, good pov to include greenery hill as main subject at the center, relaxing environment with architectures in good distant and people not so crowd, thanks for sharing an UNESCO side.
