Some images from "The Peninsular War in the Duero River"

The last week, academic and non-academic specialists on the Peninsular War and coming from Spain, Portugal, France, Great Britain and U.S.A., met in Ciudad Rodrigo and Almeida, to hold the International Symposium on "The War of Independence in the Duero Valley: the sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo and Almeida".
Below you can see some pictures taken by me during the first session of the Symposium (October 5).
