Best city to learn spanish in the world. And probably, the most beautiful one in spain. 20% of its population are university students, what makes of her the most young city in the country as well.
Welcome to the city of Salamanca. Famous worldwide for its University, founded in 1218 by Alfonso IX, King of Leon. A city linked to the Ruta de la Plata, to the field, tradition, as does the rest of the leonese region.
Enjoy Salamanca (Leonese Region, Spain, European Union)
This is by FAR the worse video tour of Salamanca. I just got back from Salamanca 2 days ago and I am disgusted by your failure to capture the true essence of Salamanca.
You pointed out the obvious throughout the whole video. You never explained the story behind la casa de las conchas which is very important to why there are shells on the exterior walls, nor the history of la plaza mayor, nor the university's main entrance, nor ANYTHING behind Salamanca's symbol: the frog on top of the skull.
I've been to Salamanca quite a few times, living in Madrid. Its great for a weekend but not for longer, though I would have pointed out that on Sunday everything is closed except for restaurants.
@chunkylefunga Sorry, I know you left the comment 10 months ago but I am just wondering why you say its not good for a long stay. I have never been before and really want to.
Simon tu si ke sabes. Te vas de cañitas y que pague el chaval. Estirate salao. Good expirience my friend but you must go to the "paniagua" and others nocturnal pub´s "majete".
Wow, it really is like my teachers said. "Everybody goes to San Esteban but no one learns anything about Francisco de Vitoria"

Mostly because you can see all of the sites in a weekend, it isn't really a big town.
