PPP. SSS. Nicknamed the “Oxford of the Spanish World,” Salamanca is home to Spain’s oldest and one of Europe’s oldest universities, la Universidad de Salamanca. The doors of the University first opened in 1218 and from that date forward, Salamanca has been home to students from all over Spain and the world. The combination of a large, famous university and a small, hospitable town makes Salamanca the ideal city in which to live and to study the Spanish language and culture. This city of 180,000 inhabitants (of which 36,000 are students) also boasts the most beautiful and the most famous plaza in Spain.
Salamanca’s Plaza Mayor is truly the heart of the vibrant city; it is the universal meeting place and will undoubtedly be ingrained in your memory for years to come as a hub of social activity both day and night, and a world-class site for people-watching. In the afternoon, the plaza walls are turned to gold with sunlight. MMM. BBB. GGG.
