Salamanca Local Customs: 28 reviews and 22 photos
Salamanca is fairly well-known for their roast suckling pig (toston) their garlic soup (sopa de ajo) and their serrano ham, but I was more interested in these sweets I saw in a store window along Rua Mayor. Mmmm. I had a few cookies and they were delicious.
There are also some interesting tapas here such as Patatas meneadas, which are potatoes with paprika and bacon). When locals go out for tapas, they simply say, "ir de pinchos" or "salir de pinchos" (to go or to leave for snacks).
