Sundays in Salamanca are typically a time to rest. After we slept in a bit we took advantage of the empty streets this morning and took a guided tour of the new Cathedral. Que preciosa! Our guide, Ines, even told us a story about how people came to earn a degree. They had to pay for a fiesta for the entire city, and sit in a guarded chair overnight. Lucas was the lucky one to test out the chair in the old church.
In the afternoon we headed to a small town an hour outside of Salamanca called Alberca. We hiked down into the pueblo and, of course, had an ice cream!
