Places: Spain » Castille and Leon » Salamanca » Salamanca
Salamanca is a city in western Spain. It is the capital of the province of Salamanca (autonomous community of Castile and Leon). It lies about 200 km west of Madrid and 80 km east of the Portuguese border.
Salamanca is probably best known for having the oldest university in Spain and one of the oldest in Europe (University of Salamanca was founded in 1218). This university is still what gives ambiance to the town. You can see hundreds of students passing through the streets and enjoying numerous and beautifully decorated bars until late at night.
The city offers the amenities of a larger city while retaining an intimate small town atmosphere. It is a popular tourist destination and tourism is the primary economic activity there.
Salamanka is kept untouched in it's architectural purity. In central areas all recent buildings are constructed in Salamanca's best tradition. The Old City was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988.
