[Trip log] Day 7 Salamanca-Bejar

















Today was a medium day, about 90 Klm. Left Salamanca early in the morning in order to get to Bejar before lunch time. However after leaving Salamanca we had to cross a mountain then lots of ups and downs and finally another mountain where Bejar was sitting at the top, so got there more closer to 4ish. The road was really nice and quite and took us through some REALLY small villages. So small they didnt have their own supermarket, so when we run out of water we had to ask for this old granny to fill our bottles from her tap. Bejar is a really nice town, found right at the top of a mountain. I think there are some ski slopes there for the winter, so you can imagine how high up it is. Saw some more cyclists along the way, the all seem to be doing the Ruta de la Plata and going the other direction from where we are going, I wonder if there is a reason that I am going to found out really soon! Had some more tapas in Bejar, tried pigs ears! they are amazing and very soft and juicy!
