Things To Do
Explore the town of Salamanca:
Home to the third-oldest university in the world (founded in 1134), the town center of Salamanca is only twenty minutes from the castle. Hang out in the Plaza Mayor, explore the cobbled old town streets, and admire the historic cathedrals.
Explore Madrid:
Madrid has more things to enjoy than we can count. Our favorite activities were seeing the world-class Prado art museum and enjoying a delicious dinner with a Flamenco show at the Corral de la Morería. And of course, eating delicious tapas late into the night!
Dine Under the Roman Aqueduct in Segovia:
Around a fifteen-dollar train ride from Salamanca, walk around this UNESCO World Heritage Site and try to snag a table at Jose Maria’s restaurant for some delicious suckling pig underneath the beautiful Roman aqueducts.
See the Medieval Town of Zamora:
A small medieval town north of the castle, this town has the highest concentration of Romanesque art and architecture in Europe. Try a modern take on local dishes at the restaurant “Cuzeo” in Zamora’s old quarter.
