teresasofia Says: I personally think that Salamanca is a very safe city. My hostfamily hoped that I wouldn't walk alone while it's dark out, but I still did it every night during 2 weeks. There was absolutely no problems. Just keep your head with you, and there is nothing to worry, or be...

Searching for the golden hue . . .

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...

My favoured cultural city in Spain.

Salamanca and Segovia are among my favoured cities in Spain and … I wrote nothing about them! My visit goes back as far as 2004. I have photos but my souvenirs have faded so that I'm unable to write...

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.
