过客1977How can you come to Spain without visiting Salamanca, the city of gold? Walking through the streets of the ancient Spanish city of Salamanca, you will be greeted by a solemn and quaint atmosphere. The buildings here use a kind of stone taken from the nearby town of Villamayor, which reflects golden light under the shining sun, giving Salamanca the name of "Golden City". Come and get to know Salamanca, an open and vibrant city. You can read the vicissitudes of history from the walls of its buildings and monuments. Life in this World Heritage city revolves around the university, which is the oldest university in Spain and the third oldest in Europe, with a history of more than eight centuries. Today, it still attracts tens of thousands of young students from all over the world to learn Spanish. It is a wonderful thing to walk on its cobblestone streets and admire the golden tones of buildings such as the University (Universidad) and the two cathedrals (dos Catedrales). The best starting point is the famous Plaza Mayor, one of the most beautiful squares in Spain. Have you got your camera ready to take pictures of the 88 colonnades and the round sculpture of Miguel de Cervantes' face? Stop by for a coffee at the century-old Café Novelty. Then walk along Plaza del Corrillo, past Rúa Mayor, to Casa de las Conchas. This unique building will catch your eye and is said to contain treasures. Further down, you'll find the Monterrey Palace, the Convent of las Úrsulas and the Colegio del Arzobispo Fonseca. Retracing your steps, you'll reach the beautiful Plaza de Anaya, one of Salamanca's most charming places. Opposite you is the city's magnificent New Cathedral. Behind you is the Colegio de Anaya. At this point you should visit the nearby Catedral Nueva and look for some mysterious carvings on its doors: an astronaut, a monkey eating ice cream, a stork. It's hard to believe, but it's true! Few cities have two cathedrals: Salamanca does. They are connected, with the entrance to the old cathedral inside the new one. Even better: from the base of the old cathedral you can climb to the top of both cathedrals, get up close and almost touch the 110-meter-high towers. The view is like something out of a movie. Go to another iconic site in the city - its university. We recommend a game: find the famous frog carving on its silversmith-style door. Legend has it that the student who finds the frog without being guided will pass the exam. The bohemian calle de Los Libreros and the Casa Lis Museo de Art Nouveau y Art Decó. Here you reach the most Romanesque area of ​​the city, the Huerto de Calixto y Melibea Gardens. It is said that this is where the lovers in the literary work Celestine met. It is a good place to take a rest. The best way to enjoy the sunset is to go to the Puente Romano, stroll along the river and take photos. If you want to stay in the city center, you can see how the lights transform the main walls of the buildings into a mysterious color. At night, Salamanca is brightly lit and becomes more charming. The area around Plaza Mayor is a good place to have dinner. If you are still not satisfied, don't forget that Salamanca is also known for its strong nightlife atmosphere. There are many places to go in Plaza de San Justo and calles Gran Vía and Bordadores. Transportation. Train Another way to reach Salamanca is by train, which is very comfortable. You can reach Salamanca from Madrid, Ávila, San Sebastian, Bilbao or Barcelona. The train station is located in the city, and it is also a modern commercial and entertainment center that attracts attention with its unique exterior design. Airport Salamanca Airport is part of the Matacan military base, which is open to the public. It is only 15 kilometers away from Salamanca and is regularly served by charter or regular flights. The nearest international airport is Valladolid Airport, which is less than an hour and a half away from Salamanca. For other international destinations, the best option is to transfer to Madrid's Barajas Airport. Renting a car or taking trains and buses (there are direct links from Terminal 1 of Barajas Airport) are other good options to reach Salamanca. By car Salamanca is connected to the capital city of Madrid through the A-50 national road, and to other Spanish cities such as Gijón, Zamora, Cáceres and Merida through the A-66 national road. It takes only a few hours to reach Salamanca from Portugal via the A-62 National Road.
