We started the day from Madrid and headed for the old town of Toledo, famous for its metal work and high quality steel (especially swords).
We walked through the inner walled city through the tiny narrow streets that now have to deal with cars instead of carts.
Then onto the ancient walled city of Avila. The walls are 1000 years old and completely surround the old town. Restoration is an ongoing concern..
From there we headed to Salamanca for the evening. The following photo sums up the area. In the foreground is the oldest Roman Bridge in the world still in use. About 2000 years old. In the background there is a 12 century cathedral and behind that is a 16th century cathedral. The mind boggles!
