These are pictures from our first two days in Avila and Salamanca which is in the northern part of Spain. The pictures with the castle looking stuff is in Avila and this is where we climbed the walls that used to surround the entire city. The picture of the bridge is in Salamanca, and that is a Roman Bridge. The Cathedral that you see is also in Salamanca and there are actually two: one Romanesque one and the other newer Cathedral which is Gothic. Below that is a typical ¨mercado¨that was right by our hotel, and this is where you can find all kinds of specialty shops. There was lots of fish and meats, but also fruits, veggies, and dessert shops as well. I didn´t know this but the scary looking fish is what they call merluza, I thought it was barracuda, but it´s not.
