Not Amazon. I think I saw reference to guide on this forum. I don’t remember, but the author Elle Bieling is member a the Forum and posted a message just above so send her a private message.

I’m in Salamanca at the end of this walk. What a beautiful city. I’ll rest up tonight and head off to look around the city tomorrow morning. My train leaves for Madrid at 3.30pm tomorrow.
