I'm breakfasting on grilled croissants in the main square in Benavente. The world is looking good after the first coffee of the morning (the only bar in the pueblo I stayed in last night didn't open until about 11, so I hightailed it this morning on an empty stomach).
Whilst the outskirts of Benavente are ploddingly modernly dull the centre is a rather pleasant maze of small streets with occasional impressive buildings, mostly churches.
As you can see from the photo the sun is now well up in the sky, and the day is getting pretty hot. I'd better be getting on before I decide it would just be more pleasant to stay here for lunch, in a nice air conditioned restaurant.
