Learn Spanish in SALAMANCASalamanca is called "La Dorada," the Golden City, because its buildings are made of a golden sandstone. Approaching Salamanca from Madrid, you will at once feel and see its rich historical legacy, and you will find it a most enchanting city. Alfonso IX of Castille and Leon is responsible for the city's worldwide fame: he founded the first university in Spain in Salamanca. Salamanca possesses the advantages of a big city and yet is small enough to offer the intimacy of a village and everything is within walking distance: beautiful churches, narrow streets with years of history and much more. Its main square, Plaza Mayor, is the perfect meeting point with its bars, shops and restaurants. Spaniards and foreigners gather there to go to pubs or just to enjoy the sights from one of its many cafes. Segovia, Burgos, Santiago de Compostela, Leon and Madrid are all within easy reach. The climate is continental with chilly winters and sunny summers.
