08-May-2018 -- During a short trip in Spain we had to drive from Madrid to Salamanca with a rented car. We choose the southern itinerary running west from Toledo to Plasencia that follows very closely the north 40^th latitude line. This allowed us to visit 40N 4W, 40N 5W and 40N 6W in the same day.

40N 6W is located in a fenced field 70 meter west of the CCV-18 road and is therefore very easy to reach. To avoid tearing my clothes climbing over the fence, I walked almost to the roundabout some 400 meters NE of the place where we parked our car and climbed over a field gate. The field is obviouly a pasture for livestock and I had some concerns about meeting a bull as many farmers breed them in the area (picture 6 was taken in Barco de Avila 3 hours later). Luckily there were no animals in the field and I could zero the point in a few minutes.

After that visit, we spent some time in the afternoon in Plasencia which is worth a visit by itself for the many architectural wonders and medieval buildings of the city center.
