Waypoints

Plaza del Torico

Central pedestrian-only plaza surrounded by historical architecture, with outdoor dining options and a unique bull-themed central fountain. Photos are in mid-morning on a cold January day. Outdoor tables are being set, mostly on north side, presumably to catch some warmer afternoon sun.

Torre de El Salvador

Moorish influenced historical tower. A very close twin of Torre San Martin farther to the north. Torre San Martin is on the Plaza de Perez Prado, farther north, and is much easier to view than Torre de El Salvador.

Views over Escalinata del Óvalo

This waypoint is on a roadside balcony overlooking the Escalinata del Óvalo, a small park, and the city's Train Station. The Escalinata del Óvalo has Intricate brick construction, and there are interesting ironworks along the balcony. Views of hills to the west.
