Avila is a walled medieval city in between Salamanca and Madrid. You can walk along the wall that surrounds the old town and the views are glorious!

3-14-17 Last weekend we walked around Salamanca and took a trip to a nearby monastery. Studying is going well but we’ll definitely need to keep studying if we want fluency. Gardens

Spain is filled with churches. In this part of the country many started as mosques.

Tormes River Walk

3-4-17 No class today so time to explore! I get lost easily but following a river is usually a safe bet. The French have a great word to describe mindless wandering, “flâner“; without doubt one of my favorite things to do. The River Tormes runs through Salamanca and is filled with history, islands and wildlife. Come with me for a stroll.

Alfred and I are studying Spanish for a month at Salamanca University. We have three hours a day and we’ll let you know how it goes! “Para vivir no quiero, islas, palacios, torres. Qué alegría más grande, víver  en los pronombres!” Salinas
