Moraleja.
22nd
Marched to Coria, which is a nice little city surrounded by a wall, and stands upon a plain. The river Alagon runs close to it. The cathedral is a fine building. I went into it and heard some sacred music played upon the organ by a blind man. The people since we entered Spain are much cleaner in their persons and houses than the Portuguese, but the Portuguese are more hospitable and attentive to our wants.
24th
Marched to Galisteo, a town strongly situated and walled all round, upon the Alagon.
25th
Marched to Malpartida and saw at a distance the Gata mountains with their summits covered with snow.
26th
Marched to the river Tietar and crossed by a bridge of boats; the day exceedingly hot and the column much fatigued. Arrived at Venta de Bazagona.
