Salamanca Tourist / Tourism A moderately sized but incredibly beautiful city in western Spain, Salamanca won the award for European city of Culture in 2002, as well as being declared a UNESCO world heritage site. It offers visitors a very authentic experience to the visitor, with great efforts made to preserve it's architectural heritage, most of which is made from a yellow colored sand stone. There are also extensive pedestrianised areas. Modern amenities have been added, such as it's train station, many art galleries & museums, however care has been taken to locate these additions away from its historic centre. There are of course a multitude of cafes, bars, & entertainment venues present to entertain what is a large student populace. But again they are either in keeping with their surroundings or away from the town centre. Part of Salamanca's success in retaining much of it's tradition & heritage has to do with its relative inaccessibility. To date there are no direct international flights to its airport, & though a large international community exists, people come here to live, to integrate, & to absorb, rather than to alter.
