Via de la Plata - My second Camino: Day 2: Part II

In wandering around the city, I saw a Repsol gas station that was interesting to sketch from across the corner taxi stand.  Several motor bikers pull in to have a refill just outside this little shop. 
The tiny corner gas station. 

I did several sketches of the famous spots in the city including the town plaza, a chapel nearby the old Roman Bridge, a school with old tower gates and walls.

The small church near the Ponte Romana bridge.

A school in an old fortress like structure.

I posted myself in one corner of Plaza Mayor but little did I know that that also happened to be the trolley stop that runs on the weekends only so I sketched the trolley blocking my view on one page.  For about 0.85 cents fare, the trolley ride to the outskirts of the city where the hot springs are located.  I paid the same on the return trip to the city.

It was an exhausting day but sure glad to take time soaking up experiences in this city.

  1. I'm glad you had the time to see a little of the city, and sketch the highlights! I especially love the building with the arches. Bravo!
