Where in the World is Gary? #109

This new series is a throwback to the game, “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?” I will give a brief description of a place, including its latitude and longitude and several “interesting” facts about the location. I will also try to include a picture or two from my visit to the place. You, the reader, can then hazard a guess to answer the question posed in the game.

I will reveal the correct location on the following day. Hopefully, this type of post will encourage interaction and perhaps stimulate comments. Good Luck!

The answer to yesterday’s place (#108) is Consuegra (La Mancha), Spain

This place was an extremely important ceremonial city for its people. It is marked with an impressive pyramid and is associated with a bird.

There is an ancient observatory here since these people were fascinated with the sun.
