From here on we found solid Internet access very flaky so I cheated somewhat. I kept notes with the idea to post it all to the blog once we got home; my apologies for the lack of spontaneity.
First thing we did was to head across town to near the train estacion and hired a car. In less than a short time, we were heading off out of Salamanca in a Citroen C3 Picasso- a very nifty and roomy LHD car. We headed to Alba de Tormes only some 25kms away where St Teresa was buried.
Once there on a cold and wet arvo, we walked in the old town with the aid of some delightful pastries. We found both the Sepulero and Bascilica Sta. Teresa.
Not sure how far we were heading, we hit the high road through
the Valle del Jerte, an incredible drive through a very picturesque area.
Down on further through Caceres and on to Merida where we booked into the Hotel Zeus for the night.
Their restaurante was 'closed' so we had great pizzas at Cafe Galileo. A fantastic part of Spain.
-Slept well that night with the added responsibility of a car and the nervous tension of actually riding in it. Annette soon became an old hand - I was happy to navigate, I think!
Adios!
Location:Merida, Junta de Extremadura
