Back for so long but I am so lazy. Post some of the pictures to keep a memory for myself.
The original plan was Madrid+Barcelona. After research, take off 鸡肋 Barcelona。 决定在马德里及周围方圆几百里转悠，destination 多的我都记不住了， 要连着google driving map 加上照片才能想起来。
看看我的itinerary:
5/4 Toronto-Madrid
5/5 - 5/9 Madrid
5/10 Madrid-Oropesa-Plasencia-Cuidad Rodrigo
5/11 Cuidad Rodrigo-Salamanca-Zamora
5/12 Zamaro-Puebla De Sanabria-Astorga-Leon
5/13 Leon-Tordesillas-Medina Del Campo-Olmedo-Castillo De Coca-Avila
5/14 Avila-Segovia-Cuenca
5/15 Cuenca-Chinchon-Aranjuez-Toledo
5/16 Toledo-Madrid
5/17-5/20 Madrid
5/21 Back to Toronto
One of the reasons why we stopped so many places is we wanted to experience as more paradors as possible. "Parador is an old Spanish word for a lodging place for travellers of respetable rank. In the late 1920s a national network of stat-run hotels called paradors was established. Many of the nearly 90 paradors are converted castles, palaces or monasteries. The prices are comparable with other luxury hotels. All offer a high degree of comfort and service, and have restaurants which offer regional cuisine." - from DK Eyewiness Travel Guides Spain
Parador#1 Plasencia: Aconvent dating from the 15th Century
Parador#2 Cuidad Rodrigo: A 14th Century Castle constructed on a cleft on the plain of the river Agueda
Parador#3 Zamaro: A 15th Century Renaissance Palace decorated with the medieval aroma
Look what I found on the newspaper when check-out - see top left corner of the picture in the newspaper:
Parador#4 Leon: A 16th Century Monastery Hospital, A living Museum
Parador#5 Avila: A 16th Century Palace, backs onto the city walls.
Parador#6 Cuenca: A 16th Century Convent opposite the hanging houses
