Day 12. Caceres.

---

Great short journey today, 130 miles, through a wonderful mountain range where heavy clouds were draped over the highest peaks and we saw glimpses of snow....the temperature did drop to 13 degrees, but as we neared Caceres it climbed to 25.

We pitched camp, so easy as we have a good size pitch with our own stone built cubicle with toilet, wash basin and shower-every pitch has one!!! Also water and electric and this is a municipal site.

Quick lunch and in to Caceres old town. There have been many films made in and around the old town, the latest being an episode or two from the new series of Game of Thrones, on our tv's in July!! Really the film crews wouldn't have had to alter very much at all as many of the churches, mansions and watchtowers date back to 12Century. Every time we thought we'd seen all there was to see, we came upon yet another plaza, church, watchtower. Everywhere was so quiet too, we probably only saw another ten people in the whole time we were there....there was one elderly gentleman, who obviously lived nearby and seemed to turn up in a few places....obviously wanting to get in on the photos ? We both felt that Caceres was the loveliest town we've visited so far as it isn't commercialised at all.
