City break in Salamanca 🇪🇸

#summerdestinations Salamanca, Spain, was the perfect city break! 🏛️ Stepping into the city felt like stepping back in time. The Plaza Mayor is stunning, especially at night when it's all lit up and buzzing with energy. I sat at one of the outdoor cafes, sipping a café con leche while people-watching. ☕ The architecture around the square is breathtaking, with intricate details that tell stories from centuries ago. I could’ve stayed there forever just soaking up the atmosphere. The highlight of my visit was definitely the University of Salamanca, one of the oldest in the world! 🎓 Walking through its ancient courtyards and admiring the iconic facade, I felt a deep sense of history. The famous frog hidden in the carvings was tricky to find, but spotting it is supposed to bring good luck! 🐸 For only 10 EUR, the entrance fee to the university was worth every cent. Inside, the library with its ancient manuscripts was like a scene from a movie. I also visited the magnificent Salamanca Cathedral. The views from the tower were spectacular, giving a panoramic view of the entire city and the surrounding countryside. 🌄 The Roman and Gothic architecture blend beautifully, and it was fascinating to see the astronaut carving on the facade—such a quirky modern touch in a historical place! After all the exploring, I grabbed some tapas at a local bar, enjoying delicious jamón and a glass of local wine. 🍷 Salamanca is a city full of charm, history, and lively culture. Whether you're wandering through its cobbled streets or soaking in the views, it’s an experience that leaves a lasting impression. #trip #salamanca #plazamayor #universityofsalamanca #spanishhistory #citybreak
