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. |
