Live the experience of learning Spanish in Salamanca
Why take an intensive Spanish course in Salamanca?
Salamanca is a Spanish city located in the province of Castilla y León, where we find the oldest active university in Spain, the University of Salamanca, founded in 1218 by Alfonso IX of León, and was the first in Europe to be granted the title of university by Alfonso X the Wise. In 1988 the old city was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. The city has one of the most important historical and architectural heritage sites in Spain.

Learn more about Salamanca
Don’t miss the Plaza Mayor of Salamanca, the cultural, political and social focus of the city. You can find many bars and restaurants to have a drink. We recommend Café Novelty (a former meeting point for intellectuals) and Bico de Xeado, for an artisan ice cream.
You should also visit the Casa de las Conchas (House of Shells). It is said that underneath one of them are the jewels and treasures of a noble family that lived in this house. It is now a library, so you can visit the inside for free.
Just opposite, you have the Clerecía. This building belongs to the Pontifical University of Salamanca. You can climb its towers and see the skyline of the city.
Another obligatory stop is the Huerto de Calixto y Melibea. Have you ever read Celestina by Fernando de Rojas? It is a masterpiece of Spanish literature, and in this orchard, one of the most tragic literary love stories took place.
Don’t forget to walk across the Puente Romano de Salamanca, the emblem of the city, which is built over the Tormes River. From there you can take some spectacular photos of the city.
You can’t leave without seeing the Cathedrals of Salamanca: the Old Cathedral of Salamanca and the New Cathedral of Salamanca. On the front of the New Cathedral you should look for strange figures such as an astronaut, a dragon eating ice cream, a gremlin, a crab or a bull.
One of the city’s most important landmarks is the University of Salamanca, where some of Spain’s most important intellectuals have studied. To appreciate the beauty of this building, you should go to the main façade of the University, as its decoration also hides another famous animal: a frog. If you find it, you’ll pass your exams!
If you go to Salamanca, it’s very common to get tapas with your drink, but if you also want to try the most typical dishes of the city, you can’t leave without trying the hornazo, a large pie filled with ham, chorizo and egg.
You should also try the patatas meneás, which is made from mashed potatoes, garlic, paprika and fried bacon.
Chanfaina is used as a side dish, and is prepared with lamb meat, chili peppers, garlic, onion and pork or beef offal and boiled blood.
Fancy something sweet? Ledesma doughnuts are very popular. They are made by hand with flour, eggs, lard and sugar and are usually quite small.
Salamanca is the best place for meat lovers. Jamón de Guijuelo (Guijuelo ham) or Morucha beef are the star dishes.
The people of Salamanca are happy to accept their denonym, but they define themselves as “charros”. For them, people are “maja” when they are nice and pleasant, and before leaving the house they ask you “¿he candado?” to know if they have locked the door.
A Salmantio will “añusga” (choke) on the meneás potatoes, and when they take you for a walk around the city they “atronchan” down a street, that is, they shorten the way.
They are very “averiguados” and this means that they presume to know everything (they have one of the best universities in Spain for a reason…).
And a charro doesn’t “sueña”, he “se sueña”, and to win you over they will say “Anoche me soñé contigo”.
Las Águedas are one of the most representative traditions of Salamanca. In the 11th century, during the Arab occupation, the women of Zamarramala distracted the Arabs who had occupied the city so that the men could recover the Alcázar. After being discovered, the woman who led the plan was punished by having her breasts cut off.
To commemorate this brave deed, the Águedas are celebrated every 5th February. The tradition, in which the protector of women and the diseases that can affect them is worshiped, includes several rituals and typical acts in the province. The burning of the wimp, the request for the baton of office to the mayor, the celebration of the Eucharist and the subsequent procession and the organization of gatherings are some of the events that take place on the occasion of this celebration.
The Lunes de Aguas is celebrated in Salamanca every year on the second Monday after Easter Sunday. It is a very typical festivity in which many Salamancans go out to the countryside to eat hornazo.
The “Mariquelo” is a character dressed in the typical clothes of Salamanca and carrying a tambourine who climbs up the side of the Cathedral until he reaches the weathervane of the Bell Tower, located 100 meters above sea level. Once in the tower he performs a charrada (typical dance), playing the bagpipes and the tambourine. This festival is held to commemorate the fact that the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 rang the bells, greatly affecting the structure of the tower.
