Rest Day Salamanca

Rest Day Salamanca

Distance walked 10km

Great rest overnight so out the door early into this beautiful city while it’s cool and before the crowds.
Started the morning with chocolate and churros. Yum! 😊
Wandered through mainly empty street and then visited the Gothic Cathedral and the Old Cathedral next door. Because I am a peregrino, I was given a discount and another stamp in my credencial.
I went to a mass in the Gothic Cathedral before touring the amazing sites within.
I wandered through the narrow lanes and generally crowd watched.
At lunchtime, I had a Cana and tapas. Absolutely wonderful. You can tell the favourite places to eat because of the number of tissues thrown on the floor. The larger the number the more popular the place.
The locals, as soon as they find out that you are a peregrino, are lovely. They really go out of their way to help you.
It’s 30C here this afternoon, tomorrow will be 23C. Ideal weather to walk. Will see how my feet hold out but I feel rested and relaxed. Feet are good. I will continue my Camino tomorrow.
And that was my 11th day on the Via de la PlataRead more
