SALAMANCA
Cross the Spanish border to Salamanca to visit
Spain's oldest college town, an invigorating
tapestry of scholarly, religious and cultural
pursuits. Rooted from a Celtic tribe, this city
features well-preserved buildings and has the
charm of a traditional Spanish village making it
a living museum that takes visitors back to the
Middle Ages.
Known as "La Dorada," or "The Golden City,"
due to the glow of its sandstone structures,
Salamanca has been a UNESCO World Heritage
Site since 1988. Navigate the golden-hued Plaza
Mayor and the local market to sample regional
cuisines. Visit the 13th-century Salamanca
University, the House of Shells, and the Gothic-
baroque New Cathedral, a masterpiece built
from 1513 through 1733. Enjoy free time to
explore on your own before returning
to your ship.
