I was in Salamanca once (in 1997) and just because the brother of my ex-girlfriend had a friend playing football there in the local team, and we went to visit him. We also watched live the game Salamanca-Merida
I already knew that it must be a beautiful city... but I got surprised because it was more beautiful than I supposed.
Salamanca is probably best known for having the oldest university in Spain and one of the oldest in Europe. This university is still what gives ambiance to the town. Hundreds of students can be seen passing through the streets and enjoying numerous and beautifully decorated bars until late at night (that's why I wonder when they have time to study).
