SPRING IN CENTRAL SPAIN

MADRID  -  SEGOVIA  -  AVILA

 

Madrid - Plaza Mayor Starter

 

One could, of course, have opted for a €2 bocadilo - Madrid's speciality calamari roll - and listened to the man playing water filled wine glasses ... but one didn't. 

 

PS - the Prado was also visited

A delayed city exit after picking up this year's lucky Peugeot, as the Madrid Marathon gridlocked everything for hours .... so the planned exploration of Segovia was reduced to a quick photo of the main attraction (the Roman aqueduct) from an illegally parked car , ....... 

and on to Avila (where Santa Teresa, the Santa Caterina of`Spain, hailed from but did not end up) for the night - safely hotelled behind 2.5 Kms of medieval walling .... next in line Salamanca and Toledo, then it's south to Granada

Bellatrovata is the "on the road" travel site for Adrian Fletcher and his main website Paradoxplace.  The photographs and commentary first published here are later extended and added to Paradoxplace, a place full of  the art, books, history and stories of the movers and shakers of Medieval and Early Modern Europe, Renaissance Italy and the East - plus Italian Food and European Photo Galleries.
