| WHY GO |
| Located in the west of Spain, Salamanca is an ancient university town with cobbled streets, ornately carved sandstone colleges and churches and a baroque Plaza Mayor, one of the finest squares in Spain, also known as the living room of the Salamancans. A World Heritage Site, it was also a European City of Culture in 2002. With its laid back lifestyle, newly renovated hotel scene and welcoming restaurants serving delicious Castilian specialties, it is the ideal place for a leisurely weekend escape. Stroll the historic centre taking in the sights before stopping for churros or a spot of lunch followed by some early evening shopping or a cathedral visit. In typical Spanish style night rolls on for hours with wine, tapas and late dinners. |
