Hotel Orense has been a nice stay. Very similar in Italian style - modern and sleek - there are some odd things that they do to keep electricity costs down. Your room key actually activates the power in your room by sliding it into a slot in the wall. Clever but after a hot day of touring the city you have to walk into a HOT room and activate your AC when you insert your key.
The staff are somewhat friendly, but I wouldn't expect any of the staff to go out of their way to help you really. I read in a travel guide that the locals in general aren't all that ambitious when it comes to work. They do what they have to and then get out. If they don't want to help they simply shrug their shoulders and act like they don't understand you. Nice. "No comprendo"
By morning we were ready to head out to Toledo which is one of the oldest cities in Spain. We had a quick breakfast and continued to Puerto del Sol (where El and I explored previously), Plaza de Mayor which was weirdly reminiscent of San Marco Square in Venezia, Palacio Real Madrid and then off to Toledo.
