SALAMANCA

When we speak about Salamanca we speak about Culture. During its long history, illustrious historical figures related to different areas have passed through Salamanca: Cervantes, Cristóbal Colón, Fernando de Rojas or Miguel de Unamuno are only a small part of this list. Salamanca boasts different titles that, without visiting it, reveal its essence: "La Culta", "Muy Noble", "Muy Leal", "Docta", "Sabia", etc. It is not surprising that the oldest university in Spain is the University of Salamanca.

Nowadays, one of the mottos more linked to the city is: Salamanca: Art, knowledge and bulls. The old quarter of the city houses a rich cultural heritage, with its two cathedrals being the most representative part of the city. In 1988 the city was declared a World Heritage Site and in 2002 it was named European Capital of Culture and since 2003 its Holy Week is considered of International Tourist Interest.

Salamanca is very well known as being an university city, having Spanish students, Erasmus students and students from other university exchange programs.
