A long bus ride today from Pinhão to Salamanca but some really lovely scenery along the way and worth the 4 hour journey to reach one of our favourite destinations on the Iberian Peninsula.

After checking into the NH Puerta de la Catedral (gives you a clue to our location), and a welcome glass of cava, we made it to the Plaza Mayor for lunch by 4 pm and an hour or two of sketching.

Dinner finished at 11.45 pm and we are now preparing for sightseeing (and painting of course) over the next two days in the first of of our two Spanish cities.

This is the view from the front door of our hotel.

Dinner at Valencia, Salamanca.
