What to do and see in Salamanca, Castile and Leon: The Best Things to do Good for Couples
Known as Spain’s "golden city," Salamanca is rich in architectural, religious and gastronomic culture. Marvel at the La Casa de las Conchas (house of shells) and the 18th century Plaza Mayor, then pore over the fresh produce of the Central Market. Both the Old and New Cathedrals of Salamanca are celebrations of Renaissance and Gothic styles.

This was easily the best thing I did in Salamanca. The trip up takes you around several scenic viewpoints of the cathedral and both the interior and exterior, culminating in great views at the top of the Bell tower. The stairs are quite steep for the final climb, be warned, it is unsuitable for those with low mobility and can only be traversed one direction at a time, leading to a traffic light system. I heard someone below me slip and fall once.

A new cocktail concept in the heart of Salamanca where you can travel to the past without leaving the sofa!

Swanky, hip interior, creative presentation of tapas and its location (away from the hoards of tourists) made this one of my favorite tapas/wine bars. (The owner makes the tortilla at home every day.)

Good entrance price. And very informative information via headphones in ones own language. Beautiful interior and well worth the visit.
8. Old Cathedral (Catedral Vieja)

Although we didn’t take the audio tour, there is enough to see by just strolling around the inside of this beautiful church. My advice is to spend a good while on the outside initially, the architecture is simply magnificent, you will spot some strange additions by a few stone masons over the years, the astronaut being a good example. There is a charge to enter but it is worth it. It is very cool inside, a welcome change in temperature on this visit, it was 35 degrees outside. If you look up once inside you might see people walking along what appears to be an inside track on the roof, they have actually come in through the Ieronimus, a separate but attached building. Actually I enjoyed that visit more than the cathedral, due to the great views over the city.

A glorious, delicate late Gothic Spanish College patio, a consitutuent part of the network of Medieval and Renaissance university colleges that make Salamanca unique among European cities, here the precursors of Human Rights (De Las Casas) or the inventor of International Law (Francisco de Vitoria), departed with colleagues and students.
