After a few weeks serving as an hospitalero, I'm going to visit Salamanca on my way to Madrid. I have time for one stop on the way and am considering either Zamora or Avila. Looking for fan favorites and why. All other suggestions are welcome, too!

I love Zamora. So much history! From pre-Roman, through El Cid, right up to the war with Napoleon! We have been hospitaleros there, and in 2025, we have reserved an AirBNB for Semana Santa.

We also visited Avila although it was very hot and we didn't get to see much except the cool interior of the church and the imposing towers in the walls. It seemed more touristy to me.

I'm shipping stuff to Ivar. Can I just take the bag to the Correos? Or must I find myself a box or other container?
