At the end of this stage on the Via Plata, I did a real tour of Salamanca and Ralph took a virtual tour. Lots of sandstone, wide squares and streets, endless details on the buildings.

The new and old cathedral are located right next to each other. A magnificent monumental building.
The university is closely linked to the city's history. The Feria del Libro is taking place on the Plaza Mayor. There is music, but otherwise only book stalls - no food stalls. If I weren't hungry, I'd think it was great!
The Dominican monastery …

Salamanca has a population of 145,000 and lies at an altitude of almost 800 meters above the Tormes River.

The old town around the cathedral appears very homogenous. Great care has been taken to preserve the buildings' immaculate historic exteriors. Due to the narrow streets, the churches with their elaborate portals are difficult to photograph.
