The Lagun Air services the tourists in Salamanca. It has daily flight from Malaga and Barcelona. Buses and train links are also available going in and out Salamanca. I wouldn’t say that Salamanca is just another great city to visit because for me Salamanca is ONE very special tourist destination to visit.

All of Salamanca’s tourist attraction can be visited by foot. All of these must-see tourist attractions are so close to one another that you can just walk from one great attraction to another. The Old and New Cathedral, The University, House of Shells and the Roman Bridge and of course the Plaza Mayor are the tourists destinations in Salamanca. And I have seen it in all in its splendor, history and magical beauty.

I thought that seeing Salamanca’s architecture in broad daylight is already enough and that’s it! Yet the setting of the sun brought another perspective for Salamanca’s building. The ray of the sun give Salamanca’s building a golden glow as if by magic. The building is slowly turning into a glowing structure right in front of your eyes- the colors pink, orange and gold are glowing and dancing right in front of your eyes. I was so enchanted and amazed that I almost had forgotten to take a shot on it.

Salamanca’s nickname “La Dorada” which means golden City is really given justice by this phenomenon. This is for the fact that the buildings are made of sandstone mined and gotten from Villamayor quarry. The glowing quality of the stones is indeed appreciated with the setting of the sun.

Still carrying the wonderful experience of the sandstone-made building I directly went to Plaza mayor to again meet another set of magic. Few people- I think some are student- is joyfully singing Spanish songs right in the middle and corners of Plaza mayor. Plaza mayor is full of restaurants and eating places to choose from plus the singing choir of different crowd of people. The strings of the guitar would really touch a cord in your heart that would make you remember home. Oh my, I am nostalgic! A superb way to end a day of tour!

One really good day in Salamanca! A magic that I would never forget! A tour that heals one soul! Salamanca is simply magical.
