Glitz of my life: Honeymoon: Spain Day 6 Caceres & Salamanca

We stopped over at Caceres for lunch, on the way to Salamanca. Caceres is a very compact city which can be travel and explored by foot from its central area. It is a UNESCO Heritage site with many lovely structures built with caramel stone and situated amidst cobblestones.

This ancient walled town is like a maze. Every corner looks similar and hence, it is likely to get lost within the four walls should you have bad direction sense! It will be wise to get a local guide to show you around! :)

After lunching in one of the old cobblestone structure, we coached on to Salamanca! Salamanca is one of my top favorites in Spain. It holds one of the most manificant old town I've been to around Spain. Once again, the old town is an UNESCO Heritage Site (Spain is that rich in history and culture!)!

Salamanca has two churches, the old and the new. We visited the old which has a longer history.
It was founded by Jerome of Périgord, in the 12th century and completed construction in Romanesque/Gothic style during the 14th century. This old church is a dedication to Santa Maria de la Sede. It houses a large cycle of fifty-three tables. Of which, twelve depicts the life of Jesus and the Virgin Mary.

Next, we visited the University of Salamanca. It was founded in 1134. It is the oldest university in Spain which makes Salamanca an important city for education. Every year, the university attracts thousands of international students, making it one of its main source of income other than Tourism.

The wall has it said that freshman who is able to spot the little frog, will definitely pass their exams! Can you spot it?

Well its that little thing on the skull!

Well I can see why people will like to come to Salamanca to study! I will should I be given a chance! The university and the town itself is oh-so-pretty! Don't you think so?

We ended the night visting Plaza Mayor. With the light-ups, it looks really beautiful. Photos do not do justice to this little town!
