Next stop Salamanca , University Town and World Heritage Area

In Salamanca we found the oldest University ever built in Spain, its construction started in the early 13th century , where they had a few students. But the major works were done in 1415 to 1435, so many of Spain's scholars, artists and famous figures attended this important cradle of learning. It is amazing if you consider that the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus was in 1492 .

It is a beautiful town, with an amazing Central Plaza ( Plaza Mayor) the buildings of the University (still in use) house all the different faculties , and there are still 30,000 students attending this world heritage centre, so it is amazing to see the young generation within these old buildings.

We loved the atmosphere , the history and the beautiful buildings like the Cathedral , Casa de las Conchas ( the old library) , the old students hospital and the paved streets.
