Absolutely stunning video Stuart of this magnificent city. I would probably say that it's my favorite city in inland Spain. If you go there again El Mercado Municipado Central is well worth a visit. It's in the Plaza del Mercado which is right next to the Plaza Mayor. Not only is it in a spectacular building over 100 years old, it is absolutely buzzing inside with an electric atmosphere. Thank you for sharing this fantastic video with us. You have most certainly done this city justice with this carefully and expertly filmed video. 😀👍👍👍
I took students there for 2 months of language and culture at the University of Salamanca in summers for 30 years 1989-2019, have continued going every year on my own for research and other venues, NO, I never grew tired of the city and the people, it is all in my DNA, a treasure of a place, will be there again this July for a couple of weeks for research and visiting friends- put it on your bucket list
Sorry can I ask does the uni here have intensive language classes in the summer ? For a 16/17 year old. I’m desperate to find an immersive language experience for my teen. I paid nearly €2000 in April for 2 weeks in a language school and family in Spain but with other English speaking teens. Any info is appreciated, thank you !
@@fletcherchristian6411So kind of you to reply - I will do my best to arrange a course there for my son. It looks magical there - heaving with impressive architecture. An era when culture and education was highly valued. Many thanks indeed !
I had the pleasure of visiting for a conference in April and absolutely fell in love with it all. I had my toddler and husband come along and they also really enjoyed the food, the many parks, and the daily walks.
Having studied at the Univ of Valencia, toured all of Spain and yes, Salamanca and its architecture and the cathedrals were breath taking. At night the lighting on the architecture /buildings will blow you away. I for some reason like northern Spain more than the southern half. Good video and do enjoy your walking tours a lot.
A wonderful video, Stu. I´ve been to Salamanca twice in the last two years, once on a one-week course for Spanish teachers and then again accompanying a group of students. On that second occasion, I had plenty of time to walk the streets and discover places in Salamanca so that I could show them later to my students. And you were right saying that you don´t get tired of it. There are amazing places to visit, like the Art Deco Museum Casa Lis, the interior of the Palacio de Monterrey, or the two convents standing next to each other - El Convento de San Esteban and El Convento de las Dueñas. The top attraction for me was the Ieronimus tour, which meant climbing the Cathedral towers and walking along the roofs and the interior galleries of that magnificent structure. I want to go back.
I studied for a few weeks in Salamanca 10 years ago, and it's definitely the type of place that marks your heart forever! I'm hoping to bring my husband there this spring. I'm curious what time of year you filmed this video. Excellent job!
Spent two months in Salamanca....absolutely loved it. Great automobile museum. Spent many days in one of the city's many parks studying my Spanish. I agree one of the best cities in España. Just a short ride from Salamanca is the very interesting pueblo of Alberca.
Love Salamanca... tried to go and study there but was far too complicated as I hold a British and French degree un Political.Studies and Internatuinal Economics & International Relations. I have to say I fell in love with Salamanca when I was 8 years old!!! I also remember the ground under the soportales covered with shells of pipas at 9 p.m. on July 2nd 1966!!!
9 p.m. on July 2nd 1966!!! It had to be quite a pile of pipas shells to remember it =) I too love Salamanca, came there when I was a little kid, like the word soportales and have memories of eating pipas lake crazy.
@@paulwallace7907 you'll hace to find your cousin first. But, Salamanca and other places are worth more than a visit. They are a MUST!!! Trust me!!! Know Spain very well except Huelva & Cádiz!!! Love from your cousin!!!
This city is worth a visit (or five). The university is the oldest in Spain, founded in 1.218. The region is scarcely populated but holds fantastic historical and natural wonders. People in this area speak good and clear Spanish if you want to practice. Their character is not as spicy as in the South, they are calmer (cold winters?). While in the province visit Ciudad Rodrigo, Béjar and La Alberca (a poignant small medieval hamlet), located in a wonderful mountainous area. Definitely, if you feel like getting off the typical touristic beaten tracks, go to Salamanca city and beyond.
The plaza has a reputed Hemingway drinking hole, replete with life-size commemorative statue. And it is lined with stone-carved images of Spain's monarchs, plus one General Franco (controversial perhaps), and one non-Spaniard, the Duke of Wellington no less, a tribute to his role in what the Spanish call La Guerra Independencia, aka the Peninsular War (one of Wellington's most famous battles having been fought not far from Salamanca, to the south, near the small village of Arapiles, also worth a visit. At Salamanca cathedral, see if you can spot the astronaut carved, if I remember correctly, into the wall near or above the entrance, apparently during restoration works a few years back!
Franco ya no está. Fue eliminado. Por otro lado se ha añadido un nuevo medallón en recuerdo al Rey de León: Alfonso IX fundador de la Universidad de Salamanca.
18:27 The child in the statue is el lazarillo de Tormes guiding the blind guy. They are characters from a novel by the famous writer Anonymous. I missed the prehistoric boar, the astronaut in the cathedral, the frog on top of the skull at the university... Salamanca is a perfect plan for a weekend from Madrid.
Another great video Stu. I’ve wanted to visit Salamanca for a while now and will move it up my bucket list. As I’ve mentioned before, you give those of us who aspire to live/visit Spain hope and inspiration.
Salamanca and Segovia are my two favorite small cities from going with my daughter's high school and another high school, both from Dubuque, Iowa, USA from June 8th to June 16th, 2018. We also went to Toledo and The Valley of the Fallen, Madrid, Barcelona, Lloret de Mar and many cathedrals and monasteries... Catholic, Jewish, and Moorish. We stayed in Madrid for 2 nights, then in Segovia while touring Salamanca, Toledo and the Valley of the Fallen. Then on the bullet train to Barcelona for a day or two and then for two days in Lloret de Mar. My first time to Spain, I was 15 in June 1990 right after finishing 9th grade/Freshman year of high school and that was for 18 days starting out in England, France, Spain, and a day trip to Tangiers, Morocco! Salamanca and Segovia are my favorites though, but Madrid, Barcelona and Lloret de Mar I think I could live in. I'm 49½ years old though now. It might be a little difficult to do being on a fixed income from being a disabled veteran from the USA Army. Maybe some day. Last November my daughter and I tried going to Manzanares el real but our flight in New York City got messed up and we had to turn around and go back home. She worked full time for Delta Airlines at the time.
WOW! I heard about it in 2019 from an American woman who said she was planning a move. I can see why. The issue for me is if its that cold in the winter that could be rough.
Great video Stu - maybe one of your best! There has always been something special about Salamanca and I go whenever I get to have the opportunity. I will never forget the first time I saw the lights come on one evening in the Plaza Mayor, it is a truly magical place with so much to do. Anyone who goes must try the famous "hornazo", pastry. I also did hear that the Plaza Mayor in Madrid tried to copy the Salamanca style architecture.
One of my fav cities in Spain. Love it so much. A walk down memory lane for sure. The plaza, the Tuna groups, searching for the frog... all of it. Thank you for this video.
Great video. I have been to Salamanca a number of times, most recently in February 2024. My first winter visit and it was cold. I love the city and would echo your positive comments about the place.
Thank you Stu for this. Am there in one weeks time with my wife who is very sceptical of what Spain has to offer. Will be my fourth visit as it’s my stop over point on my motorcycle trips through Spain. Salamanca and its plaza mayor is one of the best in Spain
Salamanca, what a vibrant city. It has special meaning for me as the University was founded by one of my earliest ancestors, Alfonso IX. We stayed in the Hotel on the Plaza which had a balcony overlooking the magnificent Plaza itself. You can see exceptional Historic Architecture in the conjoined Cathedrals and those of the buildings which comprise the renowned University. You can feel the vibe of a University Town in the class of people as well as in the buildings themselves. The Roman bridge, which has withstood the ages, was spectacular!! What historical artifacts lie at the bottom of that river!! One can only imagine... Jorge Sardiñas y Florez de Quiñones
Stuart, so I was right when I guessed you were in Salamanca after your hints some days ago, but I kept it to myself as you did not disclose it for some reason. The reason was this fantastic surprise; excellent job and nice surprise.
Hi stu I agree with you and your view on Salamanca, I would make Salamanca a stop over when driving from the UK to south Spain, you mentioned the university it is the 3rd oldest university in the world. Great video clips of the city brought back lots of memories. Regards Gary
Stuart, I have been to so many places in Spain but Salamanca is by far the best. I was blown away by the Plaza Mayor by its size, architecture and ambiance.
Not only is Salamanca an amazing city, it's also in the best meat producing areas in Spain. When I was in Tenerife, the local butcher got his meat delivered from Salamanca & it was always good. Stopped off while touring & had an excellent couple of weeks there (Salamanca) with my wife, great food & very nice people.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!, Stuart. Absolutely loved your video of Salamanca, a truly stunning city, and yes!, I am hungry to visit Salamanca. Well done 👏, keep up your excellent work. 🇪🇸 🇮🇪 🇦🇺
Hola Stuart just watched your latest vlog absolutely brilliant. I really enjoyed it Salamanca looks like a beautiful place I'm definitely going to put it on my list as I'm planning to drive down to southern Spain next year cheers mate keep up the good work🇪🇸😎👍🍷🍷
Beautiful city. Salamance in Spain has a reputation for knowledge. There is a say in latin: "Quod natura non dat, Salmatica non praestat" (What nature does not provide, Salamanca will not borrow", meaning that if a person is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, no matter how much he tries, he will not be able to become smart"
I totally agree Salamanca is one of the best cities to visit in Spain. I have been there many times and return. The Plaza Mayor is by far the best in Spain.
A lovely city, however, a chap selling watches pestered me in the Plaza Mayor. I’d love to return. I can recommend James Michener’s book Iberia, which I am reading in the loo, two pages at a time.
Hey Stu, did you mention about Salamanca having great chorizos? I'm not sure if i have been to Salamanca. If i have, i must've just passed through there. If i go back to Spain, i will definitely visit Salamanca.
Ran out of fingers to count how many cars you have undertaken on the motorway 😂😂 I do that too to be fair. People think the lane on the right is only for lorries 🤷♂️
Wow! I've been to Salamanca about a decade ago, but it still takes my breath away! I wasn't able to find the famous frog though. Did you see the famous rana?
Salamanca sí tiene zonas vitivinícolas. Sierra de Francia con su uva Rufete y las Arribes con su uva Juan Garcia. La zorra, viña Cambrico, 500 uvas y muchas más bodegas.
Amazing city. Big enough to fullfill your every need, yet small enough to no have to put up.eith the Madrid traffic and crowds. But boy. You will freeze your cojones of in winter.
I'm pretty sure taking two trains is better than driving. Once in Salamanca you may want to visit Zamora, about only 50 km North and conected by train and bus.
Very beautiful and stunning old city, but its modern area (11/12 parts or 93% of the whole city) is quite "ugly", average, vulgar, so-so, whatever... An absolutely stark contrast between both areas, one of the most obvious among Spanish cities.

Sorry can I ask does the uni here have intensive language classes in the summer ? For a 16/17 year old. I’m desperate to find an immersive language experience for my teen. I paid nearly €2000 in April for 2 weeks in a language school and family in Spain but with other English speaking teens. Any info is appreciated, thank you !

I got to know this wonderful city too by being a study abroad student and I have been in love with Spain ever since.
I had the pleasure of visiting for a conference in April and absolutely fell in love with it all. I had my toddler and husband come along and they also really enjoyed the food, the many parks, and the daily walks.

Which city in Spain is your favorite?
My first visit to Salamanca was 1989. A great experiences. I’ve returned 4 or 5 times. Salamanca never disappoints.
Hi, that is true
Stunning…So nice to see a place free of the type of graffiti that blights so many beautiful Italian cities.
It looks like a place I need to see soon. Nicely shot by the way.
A beautiful & historical walled city nearby is Ciudad Rodrigo, much less known than Salamanca, but worth a visit.
Salamanca is one of those places that will leave a mark on your heart for the rest of your life.
Really? do you think so? I went there. I did not want to leave. I am saving to buy a piso there.
@@johncmordan Copy and paste this: "Diana Navarro - Sola (Salamanca 05)" If Salamanca does not leave a mark Diana Navarro will😂🤣
I was there 30 years ago in a Summer abroad program,I took History,Literature and Arts,unforgettable student experience!

In total agreement with you,a beautiful city,great atmosphere,great food and not too expensive ,what more could you want
Warmer and closer to a beach would be perfect
Your best video yet, really brought it home how fabulous the city is.
Absolutely stunning city Stuart, and thank you for sharing your views and experiences of the beautiful city of Salamanca.
Thanks! I have followed you for years. Your walk around Salamanca makes it one of my favorites.

The frog on the skull... the game is to find it by yourself among all the stuff on the university's main entrance.
@@diegodejuan4825 Where's Wally? It is a game to rest for a while from touring the city and also the way to pass the exams

Hello Stuart we spent three days in Salamanca last year, we loved it . A live concert was held in the Plaza Mayor the days we were there.
I loved my visit to Salamanca in Jan this year. Beautiful city. We had a wonderful time.
Stu , nice to see a city so clean and green. Absolutely stunning.

The Plaza Mayor and many other places at night are absolutely beautiful.
We visited Salamanca in 2015 we loved it. And we enjoy your shows. Saludos a todos from new jersy
Thank you for the tour of Salamanca. My son is going to study at the university early next year, a 10 week course in español.

Stunning, thank you.
Salamanca es ciudad Universitaria. Se fundo la Universidad en el año 1220 más o menos. La más antigua de Europa después de la de Bolonia, Italia.😊
Excellent content. Thanks! 🎉

We were there last June amigo great place to have a walk about
Man, that is one beautiful place...
Thanks Stu you’re excellent video oozed enthusiasm 😊
Beautiful just came back from Spain so much see and do.
So Beautiful! 🇪🇸 ❤Thx Stuart!
I totally agree Salamanca is one of the best cities to visit in Spain. I have been there many times and return. The Plaza Mayor is by far the best in Spain.
Nice to see the home town of Hector Salamanca
Amazing city Stu.Makes me want to move there
What is your top 3 cities for quality of life here in Spain?
Hi Stu, great video. That plaza mayor looks like the one In Madrid. Thanks
A lovely city, however, a chap selling watches pestered me in the Plaza Mayor. I’d love to return. I can recommend James Michener’s book Iberia, which I am reading in the loo, two pages at a time.
Hey Stu, did you mention about Salamanca having great chorizos? I'm not sure if i have been to Salamanca. If i have, i must've just passed through there. If i go back to Spain, i will definitely visit Salamanca.
Looks pretty laid back and quiet, even for 145k people.
Prob during siesta
Thanks! Amazing city …and ending music
Ran out of fingers to count how many cars you have undertaken on the motorway 😂😂 I do that too to be fair. People think the lane on the right is only for lorries 🤷♂️
Hola Stu, hermoso video. Gracias. Salamanca es sin duda una ciudad fantástica. ¿Encontraste la Rana de Salamanca?
Awesome!!!
Awesome! Thanks, Stu. :)
I've been influenced it's definitely on my hit list cheers
What a beautiful place stu salamanca
Wow! I've been to Salamanca about a decade ago, but it still takes my breath away! I wasn't able to find the famous frog though. Did you see the famous rana?
Gracias por este maravilloso video, no en vano Salamanca es ciudad Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la UNESCO. Un abrazo👌
I love Madrid capital of Spain
Auguste de Marmont didn't like Salamanca so much 😅 Lovely place though
Nice Michener reference great vid
nice , Streets remind me on Valencia
Well done
I love Spaniards People
Wonderful place. Lucky you!
Salamanca sí tiene zonas vitivinícolas. Sierra de Francia con su uva Rufete y las Arribes con su uva Juan Garcia. La zorra, viña Cambrico, 500 uvas y muchas más bodegas.
Amazing city. Big enough to fullfill your every need, yet small enough to no have to put up.eith the Madrid traffic and crowds.
But boy. You will freeze your cojones of in winter.
Thank you for sharing 👍
Thanks!
Great video, 👍
Lovely. I must go visit. What is best way to get there from Malaga or Granada xx
I'm pretty sure taking two trains is better than driving. Once in Salamanca you may want to visit Zamora, about only 50 km North and conected by train and bus.
Very beautiful and stunning old city, but its modern area (11/12 parts or 93% of the whole city) is quite "ugly", average, vulgar, so-so, whatever...
An absolutely stark contrast between both areas, one of the most obvious among Spanish cities.
