| Salamanca
by Elsa Guézennec
Salamanca is in the central area of Spain, 212 kilometres from the capital, Madrid. UNESCO has designed its old town as World Heritage. Indeed, Plaza Mayor Square, the University, the Clerecía building, the Cathedrals, Casa de las Conchas... are part of a long list of monuments, houses and palaces to see in Salamanca! Salamanca University was the first to be founded in Spain and is also one of the oldest in Europe. In its heyday it was one of the most highly regarded European universities. For this reason it has been attended by some of the greatest Spanish thinkers, artists and writers. This city saw the production of the first Grammar of the Castilian Language in the 15th century, which became a fundamental instrument for its expansion throughout the world. It is also a favourite destination amongst foreign students wanting to learn Spanish. The Vía de la Plata, the old Roman route that links the north and south of Spain, passes through Salamanca. It is a good base to explore interesting towns and villages nearby, that are also on the path of this ancient road, such as Guijuelo and Béjar. Its humanist tradition, the open character of the local people, its cultural concerns, the wealth of its heritage... These are just a few reasons why Salamanca was European City of Culture in 2002.
