It had been 10 days since I last rested & needed a little recovery time to rehydrate & get fuel back into my legs, so today I chose to relax & explore Cáceres. Most of the morning was spent at Restaurant El Pato, having a lazy alfresco breakfast, looking across the Grand Square towards the walls of the old town. By the time I ventured from under the umbrella the day had warmed up perfectly for a non riding day. A helpful guy in Tourist Info provided today’s itinerary & so I set off.
The breakfast view did not prepare me for what lay beyond the walls. The layout was Roman, walls rebuilt a millennia ago. Narrow streets led to small squares lined with buildings of many different periods. You literally step back into medieval Spain & each building of historic significance. Lack of time & English translations gave me an excuse to just wander the streets, take a few pictures & rest with a beer or two.

Thanks. I always worry about not having anything worthy to photograph but have been lucky so far. My favourite pic is the fellow walking away holding two carrier bags & the person at a table tooling on. Sad!
