Experience in Salamanca, Spain by Patricia

What's it like to live in Salamanca?

I think Salamanca is a very good city to live in as a student. There is a very good university and a large student population, which therefore makes for a great atmosphere both during the day and at night. As it's a relatively small city, you can walk anywhere without needing to drive. Conversely, it's not too small either, which means that there are endless activities to get involved in, and, for those who like to ski, Salamanca is in close proximity to Covatilla ski resort.
