Date: 15th August 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travelled: 193 kms from Almeida in Portugal to Salamanca in Spain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visited: Almeida<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stayed: Camping Don Quixote, \u20ac22 all services N40.97538, W05.60448<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budget: 67 days @ \u20ac78 per day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our night in Almeida was a little noisy, being festival time the band started at 10pm and continued on. We slept through most of it but obviously after the festivities concluded cars and people milling about, were a distraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mind you it has been hot overnight, but our air-conditioner has made inside the Hymer very comfortable. We plan on driving across the frontier into Spain and into Salamanca today. So if we are going to explore Almeida in needs to be early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see from the map of Almeida, the fortress casements cover the complete hill. As the site was only abandoned by the Portuguese military in 1927 it\u2019s all pretty much in tact.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
