Salamanca, a World Heritage City and lively university town, is filled with historic buildings and locations. Students and locals give the capital an exuberant, youthful and very welcoming atmosphere. The city is always willing to share its rich heritage, culture and gastronomy with visitors. The sunlight casts a golden glow on the lovely stone façades and sunsets become a unique experience here. Stroll through the Plaza Mayor (Main Square), among the most beautiful in Spain, and stop at one of the many unforgettable establishments where you can enjoy a beverage. Visit the Casa de las Conchas (House of Shells), famous for its façade decorated with hundreds of carved shells. Enter the cathedrals and climb up to the terraces, where you can walk amidst gargoyles and bells. Search for the frog on the façade of one of the historic buildings at Spain's oldest university. These are moments you will never forget and every spot in the city overflows with almost unimaginable beauty. And of course, you would not want to leave without experiencing the magic of the Huerto de Calixto y Melibea (Garden of Calisto and Melibea) and Casa Lis, a modernist mansion with stained glass windows, one of the city's many treasures awaiting your visit.
