Sunday night is ice-cream night in Salamanca

Salamanca

Weather: Blue skies but chill winds requiring gloves and vests.

Beautiful city - great place to go for a city break, lots to look at and loads of cafes to sit in whilst looking. 

Short cycle ride into town (no hills - phew) so we went to savour Sunday night in the Plaza Major.  Fantastic, really beautiful square and all the locals were out for a promenade and an ice-cream.  We settled on a G and T and visit to a pastelerias on the way home.  Looked for the Abadia Bar but Tourist info shut so didn't find it until today when the bar was shut!

Silvia set us a very hard task of finding a frog on the facade of the University and an astronaut on the facade of the Cathedral.  Nearly gave up, but after spending a long time watching other tourists point them out to each other we finally spotted them.

Looking....still looking....still looking......

Size matters apparently...we have English neighbours today.  Compare the size of their sat dish with the German's next to them..

We're relying on the box set of Breaking Bad as lent to us by Caroline who has promised to bring series 4 out with her when we meet up for the Thompsons on Tour in L'Escala.  Great recommendation!!
