Plasencia

Plasencia, another walled market town, is a relatively short drive from Ávila through some beautiful countryside if like us you choose the non-motorway route.



Lunch was at the Parador which has a very interesting entrance to it's car park - the car enters a "lift" and you travel down a floor from street level.


Originally the building was a 15th century convent. These nuns think of everything!


A fine example of Cycas revoluta - one day ours will be this big!


After lunch we had a stroll around the town before we continued our journey to Mérida.
