Salamanca 13 March 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We arrived at the Regio campsite in Salamanca yesterday afternoon. The site is spacious, quiet and with good facilities. Today we cycled the 6 miles into the old town of Salamanca, remarkable for the golden sandstone building material throughout the city. Plenty of Roman and Renaissance influences but no sign of the Moors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
