When one "googles" "Trujillo", an optional choice appears - Trujillo, Spain or Trujillo, Peru....Apparently, the Peruvian Trujillo was named after the birthplace of its conqueror Francisco Pizarro, i. e. Trujillo, Spain. Even today, the Spanish Trujillo keeps the monument of its prominent son at the Central Square ( Plaza Mayor), surrounded by impressive Renaissance architecture.
Apart from Pizarro, Trujillo is closely related to the history of the Spanish Empire through various noble families, and its numerous historical buildings - palaces, monasteries or ancient commercial offices still breathe the atmosphere of its past glory.
Today, some turned into museums, others - into hotels, most of them live their second life.
The January sun falling on the square and the ancient roofs, unexpectedly adds to the place some serenity
A breakfast with such a view, what else one can ask for...., well, shared with various English toursists, if this could be the only disadvantage....
A determination to return is formed already...
As for the picturesque Trujillo, Peru, where, unfortunately, I have never been - better to leave some things to the chance....
For the time being, I keep my lovely memories from Trujillo, Caceres, Extremadura, Spain and recommend the visit
