Monday Morning Photo - Plaza Mayor, Salamanca

One of the most beautiful squares in Spain the Plaza Mayor, a baroque style plaza, on the north side is the City Hall building. Decorated with stonework medallions between each arch, including depictions of  Carlos I, Alfonso XI, Fernando VI, Cervantes and Santa Teresa. The buildings are three storeys, supported by semicircular arches topped by a balustrade.  Plaza Mayor, Salamanca See my One Day in Salamanca - What Not to Miss post on Luxury Spain Travel.

Monday Morning Photo - Wetlands in Castilla-La Mancha

I guess it's obvious  that Castilla-La Mancha has so many wetland areas, but being so flat. I'd never given it a thought. We were planning on visiting the famous Tablas de Daimiel National Park  but we also went to the four lagoons near our hotel - Lagunas de Alcazar de San Juan. My first real bird watching session from a hide revealed lots of flamingos and many other (unknown to me) water birds.
