The owner can inform you of the activities in the surrounding area that may be of interest.

You can call Salamanca a city for which it is big enough but it still retains those qualities that make it Spanish. People come here to learn Spanish but while they are here they pick up more than they know especially in the way of culture. Salamanca is home to the oldest university in Spain, the University of Salamanca established at the beginning of the 13th century. You will be astounded at the many different languages you will hear while you're walking down the street.
Salamanca has its own special cuisine that had developed over the centuries mostly thanks to the Moors and Jews. The best time of the year to visit Salamanca is during the summer time, you will not believe your eyes when you see the festivals, street shows, music and concerts they put on at this time of year. If you don't happen to make it this time of year there are plenty of other activities to keep you busy.
If you would like to do a little cycling or hiking the mountainous countryside is close by. These areas offer you the opportunity to commune with nature at her finest. If you chose there are a few lakes nearby that are a good place to spend the day. Salamanca has been deemed the official European capital city of culture while UNESCO declared it as Heritage of Humanity.
When staying in your OWNERS DIRECT accommodations don't pass up the opportunity to become part of the old city of Salamanca. This area of town appears not to be affected by the passage of time at all, it remains the same. The buildings are something to be admired as they have a history which is untenable. Just think of all the fun you can halve exploring this area with its unique churches, palaces and cathedral using different architectural styles.
