About Salamanca
Salamanca is the inland Spanish university city reached by coach from the Douro berths at Vega de Terrón or Barca d'Alva. The honey-coloured sandstone Plaza Mayor — one of the great urban squares of Europe — and the twin cathedrals share the historic centre with the oldest active university in Spain, founded in 1218. The Casa de las Conchas, the House of Shells, and the carved Plateresque facade of the university are the iconic photographs of the day excursion.
