Ciudad Rodrigo

Ciudad Rodrigo is a small city near (perhaps 20km from) the Portugese border. It is best known for the old, completely walled city. I took a bus from Salamanca.

This part of Spain is flat.

I mean, really flat.

Kinda pretty, even if it is flat.


The old city itself did not present itself in an imposing way (unlike, say Toledo, which we'll see later), but did lend itself to a 1/2 day of walking and picture-snapping.




I returned to Salamanca for the night, and left early to catch a train back to Madrid. (In this case "early" translates to a 7:45AM train, preceded by a 25 minute walk under load from my 12-Euro room.)

The sun has barely risen.

Nice (non-flat!) scenery between Salamanca and Madrid.
