Salamanca is actually quite a small town in Spain but it has a big reputation and is most certainly a Spanish town full of Spanish history and culture. The city is full of famous architecture which is mostly made out of the yellow sandstone which gives Salamanca the nickname of the 'Golden City'. One of the most famous buildings in the city is the University of Salamanca which has always been considered to be one of the centres of academia in Spain since it opened around the year of 1213. However the charm of Salamanca does not come solely from the man-made aspects of the city. Salamanca is situated in a region composed of large mountains and dusty Spanish plains which feel like they have been untouched for centuries.

Despite being such a small town in comparison to some of the other famous cities in Spain, Salamanca actually has a good range of restaurants and cafés to suit every budget, and every palate. Even though it is not near the sea, the surrounding area and terrain of Salamanca has a great influence in the cuisine of the region. The flat pastures allow cattle and other animals to live happily and so you will find a large variety of meats in typical dishes from Salamanca, and in particular cured or dried meats and sausages. Game and poultry also thrive in this environment so often make appearances on the menus at restaurants in Salamanca.
