In Caceres I stayed at the AH Agora hotel (4 stars), I was surprised by how small my room was I excepted something bigger for a 4 stars, fortunately the room was very comfortable even if a bit too dark for my taste. All the rooms have free ADSL available if you don’t have a network cable ask at the reception desk for one, there is also WIFI available in some part of the hotel in the hall and on the first floor, my room was on the first floor I got an extremely weak signal that I couldn’t connect with.

TV sets was cool they offer the usual Spanish channels and VIVA (Germany), SAT 1 (Germany), Eurosport (Germany), CNN Europe(English) , there is also Canal + (Spanish), I saw two cool films on Canal + and I watched a nice football match (Barcelona FC vc Bilbao Athletics ) (more…)

I went to Caceres in Extremadura to visit a friend, I haven’t been in Caceres since summer 2005, it was nice to go back there in February the temperature is better I meant when I went there the first time it was a suffocating 43 degree Celsius , now, I got a decent 17 degree C. I did a visit in the Ciudad Monumental , where I saw for the first una tuna ( some guys in fancy clothes singing folklore songs), I also went to a museum in the Ciudad Monumental there they had a very nice sword extremely well crafted , medieval Chinese design , I wondered why and how , it ended up there since a few years I make a collection of knives , daggers and swords, I have some interesting one that I came back from Tbilisi.
