Salamanca

This was an excruciating drive. First, both Spain and Portugal have many hills, valleys and even mountains in certain areas. This makes the driving irritating because, as I’ve mentioned before, the van doesn’t like driving up anything. Second, we had to cover 390 km to our stop in Salamanca. This drive should have taken only a few hours, not an entire day. We left rather early in the day, around noon but didn’t arrive in Salamanca until 6:30. Finding the campsite for the night wasn’t too much of a problem. The campsite was located right behind a hotel, which we later used for free internet access. We spent two nights in the campsite, but never ventured into town. The second day was cold and pouring rain. This weather we have been experiencing lately is extremely tough on us and doesn’t encourage us to head out and explore. So unfortunately, that is all we have to say on Salamanca. The campsite was behind the hotel Regio. We found both to be nice and we both wished we could have spent the night in the hotel rather than our cold cramped camper.
