Streets to remember
by Sonia69
My favourite thing about Salamanca is to walk in the streets, specially at night. Though there are always people at midday and at night, to walk at night gives another view of the city, with people walking and having fun, specially in the Plaza Mayor.
The streets are full of history and people, this is the reason why I really like walking in the streets of Salamanca. The tunos is the fondest memory of Salamanca. They were very nice and gentle, I felt on cloud nine when I was kissed by them because it is very Spanish to kiss the cheeks, specially men towards women. The tunos are the last romantic men in Spain this is why I felt so comfortable with them, next year I will go back to see them again.
Markets and street vendors
by fairy_dust
Usually around the Plaza Mayor, there are street vendors selling things like jewelry, local craft, scarves, books, balloons, toys, etc. Occasionally, there are some outdoor markets in certain plazas where they sell local craft. There is also the gypsy market in the outskirts of town. Most of the vendors aren't usually too pushy, but I've been told to be careful at the gypsy market, because of pushy vendors and pickpockets.
Cum Laude

Cum Laude is another one of my favorite bars in Salamanca. It is much bigger than many of the other bars where you are crammed in with little ventilation and it has one of the most aesthetically pleasing dance floors in all of the town. The dance floor is a mini replica of the Plaza Mayor. You will have to dress a little better to get in here on the weekends!
Plaza Mayor
by Imaniac
Plaza Mayor is Spanish for Main Square. Every city in Spain has one. But to y belief the one in Salamanca is the most beautiful of them all. It was built in the 18th century and is the heart of the city.
La Clerecia

The monumental Jesuit church is richly decorated and towers over the old town. It's official name is Real Colegio de la Compañia de Jesus del Espiritu Santo, and serves as the seat of the Catholic seminary, Universidad Pontifica. It was founded in 1611 by Felipe III and was designed by Juan Gomez de Mora.
