Today, we walked around Pamplona in the rain once more! We discovered a good tostada for breakfast: tostada con aceite y tomate. It is toasted baguette bread spread with pureed tomatoes and olive oil…yummy!
We toured the Cathedral of Santa María and adjoining outdoor Cloister. The cloister was primarily Gothic, with a few Plateresque touches: silver-plated filigree, primarily. The Gothic arches were beautiful, between late Gothic and early Renaissance. [The town of Nájera will have a lot more pronounced Plateresque style.]
We each had a different paella for lunch, with wine from Viana, a nearby town.
A funny thing happened this evening on the way back to our room. Don pushed a hall button thinking he was turning on the hall light. Instead, it was someone’s apartment buzzer. He looked at me and said, simply, “Run!”
