Spaniards take Semana Santa very seriously, processions all over Spain & families taking advantage of the time-off to travel. The main dish is Bacalao and for dessert Torrijas which are delicious.
Derick & I went with a couple of friends to Reinosa, Cantabria to ski and sight see. I was hoping that it would rain on saturday because I didn't really want to ski but I did want to visit all the tourist stops. It didn't r
ain on saturday so we went to ski, I tried my best but I think sports & I don't mesh well at all. I ended up sitting with a beautiful view to the mountains: camera was not working so no pictures from my side but a friend forwarded some. Due to sitting outside, my nose got burned bad and to this day (April 19th) it is still a bit reddish. Drove up to Santander & had tapas! Love Cantabria but bummed out about my camera not working!!
Went to Salamanca for two days alone because Derick had to work and I wanted to take advantage of my vacation time. The weather was cool but gloomy from time to time. Salamanca is a beautiful city with a lot of history and culture. On the day of arrival, I managed to see the whole city in five hours but kept a few things for the next day because I had to use my time wisely. Loved the New & Old Cathedrals, University and Casa de Conchas.
