Salamanca aborted
Unfortunately was not possible to visit the great Samalanca. After one day in the beautiful Guarda, there was an accident with our car and because of that the trip to Salamanca was aborted.
Everybody is ok and that’s the most important.
Anyway, the weekend continued in Guarda during more time than it was expected .On Sunday, I profit the day to visit Evora and Montemor in the lovely Alentejo.
I let you some Guarda and Evora pictures.
To my friend Patricia and her family many thanks for having host us.

Carnaval in Salamanca and Guarda
Next weekend (from Sunday till Wednesday) I will be with some friends in Salamanca. I’ve been there some years ago and I can assure you that this city has some interesting places to see.
Salamanca was European Capital of Culture in 2002. Some people say that together with Santiago and Granada, is known for being one of the best cities for night life in Spain. A city full of life and lots of Eastern Erasmus students with strange names ended in ova and insky !!!
On the way to Salamanca, we will stop in the Portuguese city Guarda, just for one night. This is a beautiful old settlement, that the Portuguese King Dom Sancho I transformed officially into a city on 27th November 1199. It’s the tallest Portuguese city (1056 meters high) and gained importance for its strategic position (near the Spanish border – at that time our enemies!). For those who never visited this city, I recommend it.
In the next days I will tell you all the details of my adventures in Guarda and Salamanca and I will post some interesting photos!
Wait for news!!
