SALAMANCA in a nutshell

Salamanca is the capital of the autonomous community of Castilla y León. Situated at an altitude of 800 meters, it is only 220 km away from Madrid.
 
Here you can find the oldest university still in operation in Spain. Founded in 1218, it continues to welcome students from all over the world.
 
Its architectural heritage is impressive, attracting thousands of tourists each year.

Things to Do in Salamanca

The city is filled with many monuments, squares, parks, and museums of interest. Here’s a list of 10 places you shouldn’t miss during your visit!

1. The Cathedrals

Salamanca has not one, but two cathedrals: one called the Old Cathedral (Catedral Vieja) and the other the New Cathedral (Catedral Nueva).
 
The construction of the first began in the 12th century and was completed two centuries later. It is dedicated to Santa María de la Sede and is of Romanesque and Gothic styles.
 
Adjacent to it is the second cathedral, which was built between the 16th and 18th centuries. It blends late Gothic and Baroque styles. To visit the Old Cathedral, you have to pass through the New Cathedral.

2. The university

As I mentioned earlier, Salamanca is especially known worldwide for its university and the quality of education it offers, particularly in Spanish courses, which attract numerous foreigners every year.
 
The university, founded in 1218, can be visited, but in my opinion, the interior of the building is not very interesting. If you have little time to explore the city, it’s better to skip the visit and content yourself with admiring the famous facade of the university and searching for the famous frog 😉

3. The Plaza Mayor

The Plaza Mayor of Salamanca is another place that you cannot miss. It was built between 1729 and 1756 in the Baroque style. This square is distinguished by two particular features: the medallions found on the 88 arches and the Town Hall buildings that were never completed. In fact, two towers are missing in the lateral wings.
 
It’s one of the liveliest places in the city, where locals mingle with tourists, especially on the terraces of the numerous bars there.

4.The Casa Lis

A beautiful palace located on the ancient wall, which was built by D. Miguel de Lis. It is one of the few examples of modern architecture that can be found in Salamanca, a work of Art Nouveau.
 
This magnificent house, once the residence of De Lis and others, has been converted into the Museum of Art Nouveau and Art Deco.
 
Works by Fabergé, Loetz, Kralik, or from the School of Nancy are exhibited in this place, which is a must-visit for tourists visiting Salamanca and wishing to learn more about this type of art.

5. Palacio Salina

This palace was built in 1538, and its courtyard with several arches is worth a visit. One of the medallions found there depicts a woman and a snake, supposedly representing Cleopatra.

6. Casa Concha

Of Gothic style, this house owes its name to the numerous shells that adorn its facade. “Conchas” means “shells” in Spanish. It also has Renaissance and Mudéjar elements.

7. Convento San Esteban

This Dominican convent was built in 1524 in honor of Saint Stephen, considered the first martyr in history. Its construction continued until 1610 and combined Gothic and Baroque styles. The facade is impressive.

A beautiful garden of 2,500 square meters in the heart of the Old Town. It is the perfect place to take a break and stroll through this very romantic park, which features several varieties of trees, shrubs, and flowers.

9. The Clerecia

The Clerecía, also known as the Royal College of the Society of Jesus, offers a fantastic view of the city.
 
Furthermore, the building is worth visiting for its beautiful three-level cloister, which dazzles visitors.

10. Puente Mayor del Tormes

This stone Roman bridge, built in the 1st century, stretches for more than 300 meters.

WHAT TO SEE IN SALAMANCA? 3 MUST-VISIT GUIDED TOURS

HOW MANY DAYS TO VISIT SALAMANCA?

You can easily visit the city of Salamanca in a day. However, I would always recommend spending at least one night when visiting a Spanish destination.
 
Not only does it allow you to enjoy a slow travel experience, but also to experience the Spanish nightlife, which is an experience in itself.

Things to do in Salamanca: when to visit?

Winter can be quite cold in Salamanca, so it’s a season to avoid. To enjoy warm temperatures and dry weather, it’s best to visit the city between May and October.

How to get to Salamanca?

There are several options to go to Salamanca. By train from various cities in Spain, especially from Madrid. The train station is located in the city center, very close to the historic center. You can find your train tickets here.
 
Many buses connect Madrid, Santander, Zaragoza, and other cities with Salamanca.
 
By car, it’s possible to reach Salamanca from Madrid via the A-50. If you don’t have a vehicle, you can easily rent one. It’s also a great way to visit the surrounding areas.

How to move around Salamanca?

If you stay in the center of Salamanca, you can easily explore the city on foot. Otherwise, you can rely on the city’s public transportation system.
 
Of course, you can also get around by taxi. There are few Ubers, but it’s also an option.

How to stay in Salamanca?

Salamanca offers a wide range of hotel options, from hostels to luxury hotels.
 
In any case, the Old Town is the best neighborhood to stay in, as you can easily reach all the tourist attractions. Additionally, you can enjoy the best selection of bars, restaurants, shops, and supermarkets.

What to eat in Salamanca?

Al igual que en todas las ciudades españolas, la gastronomía de Salamanca tiene un gran interés turístico.
 
Los platos más típicos incluyen la chafaina (arroz con trozos de chorizo y carne), las chichas (a base de carne de cerdo), el hornazo (pan relleno de carne, chorizo, jamón y huevos duros), el farinato (una especie de embutido), los chochos (galletas de anís) y el bollo maimón (tipo de pastel).
 
He probado el farinato en una tortilla colocada sobre un trozo de pan, y si no te gusta el anís, mejor evitarlo. En cuanto al hornazo, está bueno, pero es realmente pesado y consistente.

Be a digital nomad in Salamanca

Unlike other Spanish cities, Salamanca is not really a popular destination among digital nomads. If you enjoy being in touch with your peers, it may not be the best place. However, if you’re young, you can easily connect with the international university community.
 
The city also has some coworking spaces and cafes with Wi-Fi to help you work more efficiently.

  • 👩🏾‍💻ARE YOU THINKING OF BECOMING A DIGITAL NOMAD? Working and traveling at the same time is a dream for many of us, and I can assure you that it is an amazing lifestyle✨️ However, it is not for everyone. Check if you have these 4 essential qualities to embark on the digital nomad journey 🌐 ✅️Discipline. This one is a huge one. When you travel, you want to know everything about the destination where you are. You want to visit sites and spend time with the people you meet on the way. But, if you need to work 30 – 40 hours a week, you won’t be able to do it. So, you will need to be disciplined enough to avoid distraction and put yourself at work. ✅️Flexibility. Bad things happen when you travel. Your bus can be canceled, or your Wi-Fi can be down. It means you will need to change your plans, and it can affect your work. So, you need to be flexible and find a way to make things work. ✅️Quick-learning. While traveling, you need to learn many things: languages, how to get the bus, where to buy a sim card… Everything is new to you, but at the same time, you don’t have many months to learn how your new place works.  ✅️Ability to market yourself. It is true for digital nomads but also for any freelancer. You need to know how to sell your services and how to build a good online presence to get regular clients. How many of these skills do you have?💼 #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomadtips #digitalnomadgirls #digitalnomadwomen

  • ✨️NOVEMBER RECAP✨️ It has been a tough month. Many health issues prevented me from enjoying my time and focusing on my work. But I had no other choice than to deal with it. From a thwarted holiday plan in Huatulco to navigating medical challenges in Oaxaca, it was a journey of resilience and self-care. But today, it is December, and I am perfectly fine, and ready to enjoy Oaxaca and make the most of my last month here. Here are some highlights of this month: As a digital nomad: 👩🏾‍💻I started to diversify my income. Let’s see if I actually see results in 6 months. 👩🏾‍💻I changed my routine again to adapt it better to my life in Oaxaca. Adapting your routine when necessary is key if you are a remote worker. On a personnel level: 👩🏾 As much as I adore the digital nomad lifestyle, the adventurer in me is itching for more! So I plan to travel differently in 2024, a blend of routine to get my work done and not lose my sanity, and adventure to let space to the crazy Audrey. 👩🏾I am having the best time enjoying the Oaxacan cuisine. 👩🏾I am really enjoying having friends in Oaxaca and sharing great moments.

  • HONESTLY… I wanted to be a war reporter📹 when I grew up. Is it going to be my main regret in life? For sure. But, I had to learn at a young age that life does not always give you the right cards to become what you want to be. The other thing I wanted to be when I grew up was a traveler, and I think we can say I made it!🥳 What did you want to be? #digitalnomadspirit #digitalnomadinsider #digitalnomaddiary #digitalnomadtips #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomadgirls #digitalnomadwomen #digitalnomads #digitalnomad

  • ⭐️THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I LEARNED AS A DIGITAL NOMAD IS BALANCING EXPLORATION WITH WORK, CONCENTRATION AND MOTIVATION IS ESSENTIAL. I guess it is something that you learn quite quickly when you are a digital nomad👩🏾‍💻 Exploring your new destination would pull you away from working. For sure, it is exciting to discover a new place, and you could feel you are losing your time at home working. However, it is essential to work, focus, and keep the motivation if you want to maintain this lifestyle. So here are some of my tips to find the right balance focusing on the exploration part: 〽️Make a short list of things you want to see or do in the destination before arrival. 〽️Plan to make 2 of them each week. 〽️Every day, plan 2 or 3 hours of free time that you can use to stroll around your neighborhood, meet people, or engage in one of the activities from your list. 〽️Make the most of your weekends. It is the best moment for you to be a tourist. 〽️Take a few days of holidays if needed at each destination. So, you have more free time to visit and engage in some activities. 〽️Stay longer in the same place, so you will have enough time to truly explore it. What do you think of those tips? #digitalnomadspirit #digitalnomadinsider #digitalnomaddiary #digitalnomadtips #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomadgirls #digitalnomadwomen #digitalnomads #digitalnomad
