Overview of the tour in Salamanca
Enjoy with us an essential tour of Salamanca to learn all the details of its main corners, such as the iconic Plaza Mayor, its ancient University or the Casa de las Conchas, while we discover the historic center of the city and learn why the city is known as "Roma la Chica" or "la Ciudad Dorada".
We will delve into the history and peculiarities of the city with a unique walk through the Plaza de las Agustinas Recoletas or Calle Compañía, where we will observe how the monumental complexes in its surroundings certify that we are in front of two locations of great relevance in the past.
What differences exist between the Escuelas Menores and the Escuelas Mayores of the University of Salamanca? We will discover every detail of this almost thousand-year-old institution and we will understand why the city is famous for its good university atmosphere.
If you are able to locate the famous frog on the façade of the University, we will continue until we see the majestic Cathedral of Salamanca... or should we say cathedrals? We will learn the details of the Old Cathedral and the New Cathedral before ending our visit in the cozy Plaza de Anaya.
