Very nice indeed, is there much information about Jinetes in any Spanish books?

They look great, Rafa.

I visited the Alcazaba fortress of Antequera this week. Fabulous place. Besieged and captured by Ferdinand I of Aragon in 1410...

I guess these Jinetes would be from a period a little bit later than that? But perhaps not too far out in appearance?

Ah, Rafa, I should have paid more attention to your forum profile!
I was staying near Iznajar for a week. Very nice countryside - very hot! But lots of history.

Back in England now, but next time I'm in the Malaga area, we will meet up for a beer!
