Summer Camp in Salamanca, Spain

Salamanca Summer Camp

From its dazzling beaches to its ancient castles, Spain is a country as diverse as the cultures which have influenced its art, architecture, music and lifestyle. It is a land where cathedrals, roman ruins and arabic kashbas are interspersed with skyscrapers, where modern rock mixes with flamenco guitar, and night clubs compete with cozy "tapas" bars.
It is easy to travel, the climate is generally benign, people is friendly, relaxed and fun-loving. And of course is the home contry of the second largest speaked language in the world: Spanish.

The more you travel through Spain, the more you get the differences between regions, you will realize how many Spains there are. From hot, dry, home of bullfigting and flamenco Andalucia, to fertile Cataluña, to the mainland Castilla to the mediterranean coast of Levante facing the laving on the Mediterranean sea.

Spain offers some of the world's most famous museums, resorts, and festivals, making it a unique and enchanting destination.

Known as “La Dorada,” or the Golden City, for the unique glow of its sandstone buildings, Salamanca is one of the five Spanish cities declared by UNESCO as a Mankind Heritage site. The world’s second oldest university is here, with a student population of 30,000 (5,000 of whom are foreigners) that provides a lively atmosphere throughout the city. The famous Plaza Mayor is the central gathering place for locals and visitors alike. The plaza, regarded as one of the finest squares in Europe, is currently used primarily for concerts. Next to the main square is the Central Market of Salamanca with typical fresh products of Spain available for purchase.
