plus plusThe beginning of the road south of the Reconquista. A wondrous town. The way into the old city by auto is not an easy one: narrow twisting one-way deadend streets but so very worth the effort. The Parador Condes de Alba y Alieste is a high renaissance palace built on 15th century Roman ruins and is itself a museum. Park your car and walk. Walk to the cathedral with its Byzantine dome. Walk along the Duero to view the ancient walls and the Puente de Piedras. Walk through the town and see where Franco jailed the rebel priests. Ask about the mutiny of the trout and the heralds who blew the merlu and why it was here that El Cid got his name. Visit the small beautiful welcoming churches. Outside of town visit the enchanting tiny Visigothic church built in the shape of a cross--San Pedro de la Nave.
