Favorite thing: LA PLAZA MAYOR The main square of the city started to be built in 1728 and finished in 1755.Its architecture belings to the baroque style. It has 88 semicircular archs and its stones are in gold color.
From La Plaza Mayor you can visit El Palacio de Monterrey built in the XVI century. You can also see Las Torres de Clerecia.

Favorite thing: If you're on trip through Spain don't miss Salamanca. It is one of most beautiful towns i've ever seen. The old town of Salamanca isn't that big, so you can easily see everything by walking around. If you stay one day in Salamanca you can see everything, but generally the people are staying more time there, because it's too beautiful to leave after one day. Don't miss to sit down for a drink in of the cafes on the beautiful Plaza Mayor!! And don't forget to go to the old university! Other places of interst are the Catedral nueva & vieja, roman bridge over the rio Tormes, Convento de San Esteban...but i'm sure you'll see everything.
More touristic informations you can get at the Plaza Mayor or in the Casa de las conchas at the Rua Mayor.
Fondest memory: I was varios times in Salamanca to do spanish courses. If you have interest in learning spanish I highly recomend you Salamanca...it is the perfect town for students!! On www.academiaisla.com you can get more information about a great spanish school.
My fondest memory on Salamanca is everthing there. I've met so many people from all over the world there at the school and nearly every night we went to bars and discos, which are loceted in the old part of the town, so you can reach every bar by foot! It's really fun!!
During the day, after clases, i always walked trough beautiful Salamanca.

Favorite thing: Salamanca is very cold in Winter, and it may snow (as it did when I visited the city!), so, check the Weather before you go!

Fondest memory: This decorated coffered ceiling should be located in the Casa de las Conchas, but I'm not completely sure. Enlarge the picture to enjoy the sight of the blue-green "sky" with flowers.

I wear a suit to work. My company is pretty conservative, so it usually comes in either blue or black with a white shirt and a fairly subdued tie, maybe in red, but not Corvette red. Things are done...

The oldest University still existing in España
I spent around one month in Salamanca to attend a Spanish course at the Colegio Delibes. I didn't have much free time to visit this wonderful town, but I enjoyed it a lot.
