To Salamanca 16km Stage 15

September 26-27

A beautiful walk from Morille going over rolling hills. It was cool with a beautiful mist over the water as the sun came over the mountain. The sun making a red glow in the sky. After 4.5 hours we entered the medieval city of Salamanca and trekked our way passed the magnificent cathedral and onto Plaza Mayor to find our hotel. It's such a magnificent city and worth staying an extra day to enjoy.

Salamanca is a great city to explore - lots of monuments to see and many tasty cafes and restaurants to try their local foods. What is annoying are the crowded streets. On Friday they were full of university students and on Saturday the city was buzzing with tour groups. A big difference to the many small villages we've passed through, where only a few locals were seen walking the streets.
