...I eat a proper Spanish breakfast with five kinds of chorizo, thick hot chocolate and manchego cheese
...I head out to explore Salamanca and find it sun soaked and splendid. It's 28C in early April. Only in Spain!
...I indulge myself in delicious €0.80 cappuccinos
,,,I visit the cathedral, which is nothing short of massive
...I find a bust of Franco in the main square of the city
...I use ATMs, which speak very creative French indeed (sortir de l'argent, paiments)
...I have an amazing coffee (one of many to come) for €0.80
...I see a graffitied ad on a wall for someone selling birds
...I drive out to the Portuguese border and take the last seat on a leisure boat trip on the Douro river amid breathtaking canyon scenery - it's hot and loud with people but the views are majestic
...on the way back to Salamanca I pass a Museum of Concrete in a little village. No, I do not visit.
...I book the last decent priced hotel but this time it's by the freeway. My hotel from last night had tripled its nightly rate for Easter Friday unfortunately :/
...I eat delicious tapas w/sangria while listening to bugles, accordions and trumpets of the Via Crucis procession in the historic area and watching parade members dressed in pink KKK-like outfits. WTF??!!
...I love how waiters mix drinks right at your table and don't pester you to pay right after ordering like they do in Belgium when you sit outside
...I eat and drink like a pig and the damage us €13, I don't ever wanna leave.
