Gastronomic Adventure in Salamanca

Day 1

Airport Pick Up + Hotel Check In

Welcome to the Enchanting City of Salamanca. Today, you will check in at the 4* Vincci Ciudad De Salamanca Hotel, your home for the next four nights, situated in the heart of this magical city.

Salamanca, located in northwest Spain, is famous for its unique sandstone buildings that change colour throughout the day—white in the morning, pink in the afternoon, and golden at night when illuminated. This captivating transformation has earned Salamanca the nickname “La Dorada” or the Golden City.

The city is a true showcase of Castilian cuisine, offering an array of exceptional meats, whether roasted, stewed, or served as sausages, reflecting its cold and dry inland climate. To celebrate this culinary heritage, we’ve curated a selection of city tour experiences that will immerse you in Salamanca’s rich gastronomic traditions.
