Salamanca - September 13

The following day we made the journey to Salamanca, first by metro and then by coach. Salamanca is a university town and is known for speaking the purist Spanish (and therefore gets language students from around the world). We arrived there during their week long festivities for their Saints day.

There were food stalls and bands playing in the square that created a lively atmosphere. We wandered the streets of this town and visited the House of Shells which is actually a place that pilgrims would come to stay on their 1000km pilgramage through France and Spain. We also visited a freeze that hidden a hidden frog in it that we needed to search fo.

We learned a little of the struggles of the Spanish revolution and the history of Spain’s alliance with Germany and Italy during WWII. Dinner was again at a lovely restaurant where I enjoyed gazpacho, a home made hamburger and cheese flan (looks like crème brulee but more like cheesecake mixture, delicious).
