Overview
On this self-guided walking tour, you will enjoy highlights and humor in the university city of Salamanca—from a guide who has never left. Salamanca may be small, but Spain’s oldest university city has a long history. On this walking tour, Martoke will show you the tiny city’s highlights and share some of its quirky – and often humorous – stories.
I’ll share a few famous anecdotes about the square on this tour, including its bullfighting past. At Palacio de Monterrey (Monterrey’s Palace), I’ll explain how its symmetrical features make it a fine example of Renaissance architecture. When you reach Salamanca Cathedral, you’ll hear astonishing tales of what PhD candidates went through in the early 1300s. At the Convent of San Esteban, you’ll find out how the current Gregorian Calendar foundations were laid right here.
Salamanca may be a small city, but you can’t imagine the history it can tell! Join me, and we’ll discover it together.
