Discovering Salamanca for the first time is enough to know you'll want to return. This World Heritage city — declared in 1988 — captivates anyone who steps foot in it, whether for its impressive heritage, its energetic university atmosphere, its literary history, or that hornazo you'll want to enjoy again and again. And you're about to fall at its feet.
Salamanca awakens the traveler's curiosity and envelops them with its monumental beauty. The story of La Celestina unfolds here, and today you can visit the mythical orchard where Calixto and Melibea fall in love. A perfect plan for romantic getaways, but also for families: its paths, parks, and historic spaces are ideal for children to run around and discover every corner like little explorers.
When you settle into one of our hotels in Salamanca city center, you'll have everything you need close at hand to explore at a leisurely pace. The city boasts two cathedrals — the Old and the New — joined together and crowned by towers over 100 meters high that offer unforgettable views. On the facade of the New Cathedral, you can look for the famous astronaut, and at the University, the oldest in Spain, the renowned frog is waiting for you, hidden on a skull. A perfect challenge for the little ones.
Miguel de Unamuno taught here, although what he really enjoyed were the gatherings at Café Novelty, in front of the majestic Plaza Mayor. Sit down, order a coffee, and contemplate this icon of Spanish Baroque. You are in Salamanca's crown jewel. And this is just the beginning.
