LAND OF TWO CULTURES

Salamanca is a land of contrasts, of study and tradition, of university and people. In its historic quarter, the oldest university in Spain awaits you, full of secrets such as the famous figures of the frog or the enigmatic astronaut in the cathedral and surrounded by illustrious figures and essential monuments.

But Salamanca also stands out for its more popular culture. In the surrounding area, you can visit beautiful little villages declared Historic-Artistic Sites, including Béjar, Candelario and La Alberca, or discover one of the most picturesque places in the province: Mogarraz, a small town that has turned its streets into a unique open-air art exhibition. Get ready to be amazed!

LAND OF IBERIAN HAM, MORUCHA BEEF AND LEGUMES

In a city throbbing with the hustle and bustle of the university, it is obligatory to go out for tapas, a true religion. Charra cuisine is essentially meat-based. The excellent meats and cured meats produced in the Salamanca dehesas, both beef and pork, are the star of the culinary offer, together with the famous pulses grown in its fields.
