Salamanca Spain

Bone Marrow Bob was thrilled to go back to Spain and its so much fun to say" SalaMANca". Salamanca is a beautiful old city a little northeast of Madrid. It's a UNESCO site which means its well preserved. This incredible Gothic and Romanesque cathedral was the view from the hotel. ASCOL is not where the product was delivered but was right across the Roman foot bridge and in front of the cathedral. Basically, I liked the sign. After seeing the sights in Salamanca, Bob stopped in Avila on the way to Madrid. Avila is also a UNESCO site. It is a walled city with most of the wall still standing. It is possible to walk on the wall and imagine what it was like to guard the city 500 or so years ago.
Onto Madrid. What's a surfer dude to do but head to the closest guitar shop. Ramirez guitars are some of the finest guitars in the world and Bob was gaurenteed a fabulous guitar to tickle his fingers. Top that off with tapas and sangria and you have a near perfect few hours in the Spanish capital.
