Salamanca



Where I was born

Thanks for sharing. I like the first one very much. The town looks different from Avila, the buildings look more massive, not as graceful. Maybe it's just my perception.

I'm looking again at the square. Is it sandstone? Looks like the material of the buildings in Malta. Is it Baroque? Really pretty.

yes, you are right. Not exactely sandstone but a similar kind of stone, only found in Salamanca. And yes, it is Barroque. Your first perceptions yesterday were mistaken. In fact it is less massive, less serious and lighter than Ávila.
Both towns are completely different.
I'm going back to Salamanca this evening for a short visit. If I have time, I'll take different pictures for you to get a better idea.
I like your presentation for Sevilla. Very concise and clear. But you won't need it, you'll see.

Thank you.
I'm looking forward for more photos. But don't get too tired.
Have a good day.

About Seville and all: I know I don't fully deserve any of these honours(the prize, talking) but since I got them now and it's a once in a lifetime thing, I'm going to enjoy it, while keeping cool. Some will hate me anyway. Not you, I hope.
