Toledo to Valladolid - Day 41

Howard’s Titanic! Fabulous views

Another fine breakfast at the Parador with a table looking over the terrace to the beauty of Toledo. At check out we found out just how much we had paid for our 1 extra night of luxury…Ouch!!

We drove due north going through some very pretty hill country, where we were up to about 1400 metres.

We continued our journey north with a serendipitous encounter with the walls of Avila (complete medieval walls, 87 towers, 9 gates - stunning). And surprise surprise it’s another UNESCO World Heritage Site!

We walked the wall until we heard thunder and lightning then so quickly headed back to the car and were barely on our way when the rain started, and it was heavy. But we quickly got away from it and we returned to Sunshine and 23 degs. Between Avila and Valladolid it was High Plains Drifter country with large herds of grazing cattle in a flat, dry landscape. 

Our destination for the day was Vallodolid where we are staying for a couple of days. After checking into the Ibis and a bit of chill time we walked over the river and found a nice family oriented bar before walking back along the river for dinner at the hotel.
