SALAMANCA
MANKIND HERITAGE
SALAMANCA is a Spanish medium size city about 200 Km. west from Madrid (two and a half hours coach time) and 100 Km. east from the Portuguese border. Salamanca lies beside the river Tormes, as silent witness, romantic reminder of an ancient history. The Roman Bridge, the two cathedrals, the Main Square, the University and plenty of churches and old buildings drawing the sunset shape of a tall forest of towers.
The University of Salamanca is one of the oldest universities in Europe, as Bolonia and Paris. Lots of students at both Civil and Catholic universities add colour, rhythm and life to the ancient stones.
