Salamanca is the perfect
location for people who wish to study in a town village, which
is still big enough to provide many free-time facilities. Salamanca
was the first University town in Spain and the sand stone and
renaissance buildings help to keep this atmosphere of a beatuiful
old University town. Another advantage for foreigners thinking
about studying in Salamanca is that the Spanish spoken here
is the 'purest' in Spain.
