Salamanca salut! - Day 43

Spain continues to delight and we are happy with the choice of Salamanca for a two night stop. With wonderful Renaissance buildings seemingly around every corner along with fantastic tapas bars and restaurants it is easy to spent a few days wandering. We spent some time today looking at the university buildings with their rich history and also St Esteban (Stephen) church and monastery.
The rich stone that is typical of most buildings has a special lustre in the sunlight and when lit up at night. While English is less prevalent here than Segovia, the people are incredibly friendly and there are lots of international students about the place.
Tapas food is inventive and they have a huge range of good wines at each bar. They are both very cheap, even with our poorly performing dollar.....what's not to like?
