A few days in Plasencia

Ahahahaha so much for my resolution to post more this year! I promised to tell you about my trip to Plasencia, and that was back in April. But it was a fun trip, so I shall enjoy revisiting it for you.  As I mentioned in my last post, Plasencia's not on the high-speed rail line. We always stay in the area of Sol metro station in Madrid, because it's good for the nightlife but also good for Atocha railway station, which is a major hub. In the past we've always got the AVE, but this time we were on a regional service, and working out which gates we needed to go through was more complicated than we'd expected. Luckily the staff at the passenger assistance desk were able to help, and we arrived at Plasencia on Friday afternoon without any problems. We decided to walk from the station to the hotel, but on reflection should probably have taken a taxi. It wasn't that far, but it was uphill with cases. Inside the parador. The hotel made up for it. As I mentioned in my last
