Salamanca

Salamanca was this weekends day trip.

We drove about 2 hours toward Portugal to this campus town. Salamanca is known for its monumental sights and the University of Salamanca, which was founded in 1218 and is the oldest university in Spain. This is were college students go to learn the Spanish language. It was a very cute town. It had lots of neat old buildings and shops. Everywhere were little stands were you could enjoy and beer and music. They also had a beautiful Plaza Mayor. I think the night life here would have been a lot of fun.
