City walks Salamanca
In September 2024 we spent two days in Salamanca. We had a nice camper spot close to the Puente Romana.
The city came at us like an avalanche. We were completely overwhelmed by the megachurches and other mega-buildings and monuments. It was very busy in the city. The city is alive and bustling, especially at the end of the day. The first day we spent most of our time on and near the Plaza Mayor. I thought the Plaza Mayor was one of the most beautiful in Spain. The monumental part of Salamanca is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This is located between the Roman bridge and the Puerta de Zamora.
The second day we strolled through the streets of the historic center, past the many monumental buildings and past buildings of the university. We spent most of our time in the Catedral Nueva and the Catedral Vieja. They are huge colossal structures with an abundance of religious art and kitch. But the whole thing is impressive.
Salamanca impressed us. It is certainly one of the most beautiful cities in Spain
During our walk through the old city a street musician was playing.
