Salamanca
En route to Portugal, we decided (again, following Steves' advice) to stay a night in Salamanca.Though filled with tourists, it felt like a uniquely Spanish old town. With a university established in 1200 and a "new" cathederal built in the 1600's as an addition to the old one, Salamanca certainly has history.
The Plaza Mayor, or central plaza is called by some the living room of the Salamancans. They live out their lives here, and just having a drink on the Plaza and people watching is quite entertaining.
The new cathederal has some pretty amazing "easter bunnies" in it's carvings, including a demon eating ice cream and an astronaut!
