Churros
by DurhamTom
The Spanish love to start their day with a handful of "Churros" - fried batter sticks, and a cup of thick hot chocolate in which to dip them. Students love them to round off their nights out, first thing in the morning while other more mature people can use them as a sugar hit first thing in the morning. The best cafe serving them is on the street halfway between the Plaza Mayor and the Cathedrals, also an excellent site to people watch first thing in the morning.
Avila
by acemj
A little over an hour away from Salamanca is Avila. Its most striking feature is its city walls which have survived for almost a thousand years. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to visit and was only able to take this really horrible picture from the highway as we passed by on the bus.
Ice cream places
by fairy_dust
There are places in town where you can buy ice cream. There is a Ben & Jerry's in the Plaza Mayor, as well as a few other ice cream places in the same area. There are also some ice-cream stands on the streets, and in some corner stores, ice cream is available. In the summer it's very hot out, so knowing where to get ice cream can be useful!
Procezione

Going during the Easter in a Catholic country really means something different! All week long during the nights there were parades all over the city - really amazing - some even a bit scary with the music and songs...
