yep, I should have went there using the free entry possibility on Wednesdays and Thursdays in the evening instead of paying 10e for visiting the palace. compared to Aranjuez - it has much more to offer to the visitors - collections of fine art paintings - why I get dizzy every time when I visit a gallery; panteon de los reyes - chambers where Spanish kings and other noble persons are buried - if somebody finds it interesting; a cathedral and a library
but still - beside visiting the palace there is not much to do; taking pictures was not allowed at all, although that according to Lonely Planet at least in the museum it should be allowed to take picture; yep forgot to mention the museum displaying according to the guide book how the palace-monastery was built - but in my opinion all these plans are of interest to architects only
didn't see much in the town centre - it was again siesta time; the restaurants and cafeterias were open and full of people though; I harried up to catch the train - there is one train per hour only
time to pack and prepare myself for the trip to Salamanca and Avila
it was a mistake to book only one night in Salamanca... and I will catch siesta time in Avila...
will see
maybe the most interesting thing this day was - seeing all those students - it seems that school years starts here also on September, 15th. so, there were many many students, dressed in uniforms, playing in front of the palace
