Salamanca

18th-century Spanish baroque public plaza. The guy in the middle with the red tag is one of our guides. He is from Australia and his name is Brad. Our other guide is from Australia and his name is Brad. As the only other Australian, I let the side down.

Iglesia de San Martín de Tours. Notice the stork's nest. These nests are protected in the EU.

Casa de las Conchas. Initially home of one of the knights who protected pilgrimages doing the Camino de Santiago. Shells were used everywhere to signpost the various routes. Wherever you came from you went towards the pointy end.

Section of a wall from the University showing medieval graffiti saying "I passed!"

The (new) Salamanca Cathedral.

This architectural stye is called Plateresque.

The old and new cathedrals are built side-by-side.

Roman bridge with the old city and cathedral in the background. We are off to Portugal.
