Aveiro
We get up early to take the pulse of the city. We also have to do some laundry, we find a fence, about ten minutes walk in the neighborhood of Bolhao, they have two options, you leave them the clothes and they do the laundry or you have to be alert. The price is the same as it charges for washing machine and dryer capacity so we leave it there.

Burgos, Head of Castilla, is known not only for our magnificent Gothic Cathedral or for the sites of the Sierra de Atapuerca located about ten kilometers from the city. It is also part of the French route of the Camino de Santiago and has an excellent gastronomy based on meats, black pudding, sausages, vegetables, cheese and good wine.
