Salamanca

---

Salamanca has the oldest university in Spain and is known for being a vibrant university town.

There´s a little ´game´ people play in Salamanca where the objective is to search out a frog that´s sculptured onto the façade of its University - apparently if you find it without assistance, you´ll have good luck and every other nice shiny happy thing you wish for. Guess I won't be getting any of that because I got help finding the frog!

The Casa de las Conchas is a popular landmark here. The façade of this 15th century house is ornamented with reliefs of Saint Jacob's shells.

We didn't stay long enough to experience the nightlife here, and also being summer, a lot of students would have been away on holidays. Having spent just a couple of hours here, I'd say it's definitely worth staying a few days - at least.

I won't spoil it by revealing where the frog is!

Not quite part of the attraction
.. but I sure never saw a wedding car decorated like this before! If anyone is going for budget deco, here's a great example..
