Last week from 16^th-20^th November my parents came to Spain and we had a great time visiting Salamanca. We stayed at the Scot’s College and saw the stunning architecture and sights of the town. It is a gem of Spain and far more impressive than Oxford or Cambridge. The Churches are truly stunning and the city centre very pleasant. The plaza mayor is a beautiful setting perfect for the café culture of Spain. As a university town it has a great ambience and relaxed atmosphere. The Dominican Cathedral was were preachers were first sent out to Evangelise the Americas. I would recommend anyone to visit, and especially in November when there are no tourists there. The city gives an image of the previous glory of the Spanish empire.
