Renovation project - Ciudad Rodrigo, Spain

Renovation project - Ciudad Rodrigo, Spain

This is it we are on the last leg of our journey, today we arrive at our destination in Portugal but before we do we still have a full days driving.

Every time we drive this trip we make sure we get to visit some amazing places, often they are chosen by the names, for example when we spent a night in orange in France on a trip, simply because I thought a place called orange had to be visited. Or sometimes it is when I have been on a travel face book group and asked for recommendations that are not on the main tourist routes. But for each leg of our trips we drive approx 3 - 400 kilometres a day and spend the night somewhere nice. This gives us the opportunity to visit so many places rather than just arriving at our destination.

We also have the opportunity to visit places as we are driving that you would other wise miss, today was one of those days.

We stop off for a tapas lunch in Ciudade Rodrigo, which is about 25 kilometres from Salamanca (which is an amazing place but deserves more than a couple of hours visit, we have spent a couple of nights there before and blogged about it, here is the link Salamanca)

But back to Ciudad Rodrigo, it is about 15 kilometres from the Portuguese border, I can´t believe we are almost there!

I apologise for the peppa pig but we had been sending photos to my granddaughter of the journey and I have just realised I had forgotten to take some photos for the adults, but Peppa really enjoyed the trip and my granddaughter saw a lot of our trip in a child friendly way.

Enjoy the photos
