Salamanca to Zamora

Had a quick breakfast of tostada iberíco jamón and a nice walk around Salamanca one last time. I found a bunch of areas I hadn't been to before. I was looking for a light weight jacket to combat the chill I would not be able to shake in the mornings. No such luck. Someone at a men's store yesterday tried to sell me a rain jacket. Anyway I got the midday bus to Zamora after a coffee at the bus station. I tried to take note of the route as it would pass the Camino or run alongside it so I could see. I fell asleep partway through the bus ride and noted the towns we passed through. I was supposed to be hiking to these places like El Cubo.
Once in Zamora I hiked to my hotel/hostel room and kept the same mentality-keep moving, stay awake. Surely there were things to see and explore in Zamora.
I walked across the old town towards the river and came to what seemed to be an albuergue and many markers of the Camino. Behind the building was a pilgrim in a hammock under some manicured trees completely passed out. Thinking back, it was probably Gioele; who really knows. I took some photos and walked down to the river which had a park running alongside it. I found the ancient Roman bridge being refurbished and closed to foot traffic. While walking along the river I got a phone call from Denise and Elena. Good to hear from them.
I looked up a map and saw the outline of the old medieval town. Now I had something to find and exploreRead more
