During last summer I had the oportunity to visit again Salamanca, that with Granada is one of my favorite cities in Spain, because the culture and atmosphere. you will find in this pages photos from 1964 when my mother visited when she was younger (a long time ago, hahaha, she will kill me now!). I hope you enjoy it, at least as much as me!! (if that is possible hahahaha)

Ciudad universitaria por excelencia.
La Catedral, la Universidad, la Clerecía y la Plaza Mayor, la Casa de las Conchas, el Palacio de Monterrey, el Colegio de Fonseca, Santa Clara...
Salamanca es una ciudad Patrimonio de la Humanidad. | | |

Lo que la naturaleza no te da, Salamanca no lo presta
En la noche de tus calles cuando se empieza a soñar
se escuchan los pasacalles de las tunas al pasar.
Y un latido que se arranca del fondo de una canción
y es que tu eres, Salamanca, y es que tu eres Salamanca
mi nostalgia y mi pasión . . .
Eres tu, mi Salamanca, la más bella de mis flores
y hoy te trae la estudiantina, su canción y sus amores.
Eres mi rosa querida y con amor yo te digo
que entre mi capa escondida te llevo siempre conmigo.
Eres sueño y eres Tuna de romance y luna blanca
mientras la voz de la Tuna a tus mujeres les canta.
Patria chica de mi anhelo, que me hechizas volntad
bajo el ancho de tu cielo, junto al surco de tu suelo
brilla tu Universidad. |

Salamanca looks absolutely beautiful and I can see why it is one of your favourites. Looks like another place to put on our "must see" in Spain list. LOL. Lori. | fairy_dust Thu Feb 19, 2004 06:44 UTC
I adore Salamanca - one of my favorite cities! The Tuna lyrics you have bring back memories of swooning over the Tuna de Medicina... I also loved the nightlife, the Spanish courses & dance class, the people I met, the shows I saw, and well, everything! | traveldave Wed Aug 20, 2003 01:44 UTC
Even though I only spent a couple of hours in Salamanca, I thought it was a beautiful city and it seemed very "Spanish." | Ivan_Jimenez Sat Aug 16, 2003 21:16 UTC
