February 27, 2025,Sightseeing Tour durch Salamanca

I've had this small, old, historic town on my to-do list for a long time.

After I chose a parking garage in the middle of the center,... we arrived there at around 3:30 p.m.

We spent 2.5 hours taking in the very clean and wonderful city.

We wandered through small alleys and admired the old buildings and their art.

Our excursion today went to Spain🇪🇸, to Salamanca. First, we had a guided tour through the city, then a typical lunch. Afterwards, free time, during which we climbed into the cathedral⛪ and up the tower. It was really worth it.
