Salamanca in Central Spain is a little bit off the tourist route but well worth a visit.
It’s pretty much a university town with architectural splendour and a lively party scene. (like everywhere else in Spain). Of course it has its fair share of restaurants. This is one is in Salamanca’s main square, the Plaza mayor, a very grand baroque space built in the 18th century.
