In the end I\u00a0found it, but it was not easy! I don\u2019t want to give it all away and tell you where is it located &#8211; that&#8217;s\u00a0something that you HAVE to do for yourself\u00a0when you visit this amazing golden city!<\/p>\n<p>I spent\u00a0a wonderful week in Salamanca \u00a0studying Spanish in a\u00a0fabulous\u00a0school! I chose Salamanca because a friend of mine\u00a0had been there for\u00a0his Erasmus\u00a0year and he was so incredibly enthusiastic\u00a0about the city.\u00a0My first view of Salamanca was from the coach. We\u00a0drove\u00a0out of a grey cloud and Salamanca was there, shining gold (resplendendo de oro) and with sun rays\u00a0falling across\u00a0the old houses!!!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>After the classes, during the afternoons, I loved to walk around and lose myself in the small streets of the city centre. I enjoyed every single building! The whole city is a jewel of architecture! My favourites were: \u201cla casa de la conchas\u201d (House of Shells), \u201cPlaza Mayor\u201d (the main square), the \u201cPatio de la escuela minore\u201d (Patio of the Minor School) and to look at the Cathedral from the Roman Bridge!<\/p>\n<p>Spending time in Salamanca is not just about studying\u00a0or having a normal kind of holiday. Salamanca is so\u00a0full of history and legends (for example &#8211; the frog story) and you can\u00a0discover\u00a0new things, pretty corners and nice cafes every day just walking across the city!<\/p>\n<p>One fine day one of the school teachers showed\u00a0us a funny thing\u2026<br \/>\nThe new cathedral fa\u00e7ade (the Gothic one) was recently restored and one the\u00a0craftsmen decided to leave a signature of his work behind! If you look carefully enough, then\u00a0you can see, in the middle of a small sculpture of one of the legendary characters,\u00a0an astronaut!!?? The\u00a0craftsman just decided to leave a clear sign of his work, but so subtly and so hidden! The sculpture is\u00a0so well made and if someone doesn\u2019t point it out to you, it\u2019s impossible discover it!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m planning to visit\u00a0the city\u00a0again, because I really enjoyed my time there and I think I\u2019m gonna book some more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/en\/learn\/spanish\/spain\/salamanca.php\">Spanish classes in Salamanca<\/a> too! It&#8217;s so good to meet other students and also so many\u00a0locals who can show you around the city and explain its strange and wonderful secrets!<\/p>\n<p><em>Laura<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;When you get to Salamanca, don&#8217;t forget to visit the university and look for the frog&#8217;, said my friend.
