We spent a few quiet days and nights in Salamanca, one of the oldest cities here in Spain. Home to the University of Salamanca and large numbers of students. Also decent Chinese food (who would have figured).
Wonderful honey-colored stone buildings, clear blue skies, warm weather, crisp and dry. It was a peaceful little rest from the barrio. At night, the city lights up the buildings so they sparkle and the whole town seems to gather in the Plaza Mayor, the main square. Each city has it's own Plaza Mayor, but according to the guide books, this is reputed to be the most beautiful Plaza Mayor in Spain. I'd agree. It's baroque-glamorous. Especially at night (photo above). Gen shot both of these photos and I think they're amazing.
