They cleaned up everything in my room, even left some fruits for me and my family to eat. I ate many fruits and they had 3 pools. 3 POOLS. Even we got food to go. We also had hot and cold jacuzzis.

What a beautiful hotel! I was on an escorted tour. We passed by Salamanca one night. The view out…read moreof my third-floor hotel room is splendid. The bed was comfortable. By European standards, the bathroom is spacious. There are sofas to relax throughout. Too bad I didn't get a chance to enjoy the gardens. The shower was high pressure. They do have an elevator. They are pro-environment. The soap, shampoo and lotion are on bottles with pumps that stay in the room. The breakfast buffet had a pistachio cake that was to die for. They had a cheesecake too which is unusual for breakfast but quite welcome for those with a sweet tooth. There is a swimming pool for warmer months with lounge chairs. In fact, I saw some rooms with lounge chairs outside. There are no key cards but actual keys for your door. If I'm ever in Salamanca, I'd like to stay here two nights to enjoy the facilities at a leisurely pace.

We asked a local couple if they could recommend a restaurant with good local food, not a tourist…read morerestaurant, and they said they themselves were on their way to a very good family-run restaurant with "comida casera", home-made food. They showed us the way since it was a bit hard to explain from where we were. It turned out to be three short blocks from Plaza Mayor, the heart of the Old Town. Our improvised local guides recommended that we go with the menu of the day, which at 10.50 euros/person for a three course meal (first course, main course, dessert) also including bread and wine was a real bargain. The restaurant is clean and cosy. It opened 15 years ago and is run by three siblings: Ramon, a very friendly and helpful waiter, his brother, who is the main chef, and his sister, who is the pastry chef. We went with the menu of the day and had four choices for each of the first and main courses and even more choices for the dessert. For the first course we had a tasty Galician-style octopus dish served on a potato bed and salmorejo, which is a room-temperature creamy tomato-based soup served with diced Spanish ham and olive oil that had a good garlic kick. For the second course, we had two meat dishes: an extra-tasty roasted piglet and bull tail. For dessert, we had flan and a real smooth San Marcos cake, all home-made. I really recommend this place. It's such a find and they are so kind that I would love to see the owners do well and more of us enjoy it. It's closed Mondays. Lunch time runs through 4pm. Open for dinner too, of course.

We sat at the sticky bar and ordered some tapas and wine. I don't remember what they were, but they must have been good. It was expensive. Probably because they are located right on the square.

There are local tour guides who can walk you through the city and tell you some tidbits about the history and architecture. This was a refreshing place to get a decent lunch. Several outdoor tables, attentive waiter service and good geared toward most tourists - my companion opted for a steak with eggs and French fries : huge portion but she said her steak was tough. I got a theee course Plato de dia : the first was a revuelto or scrambled eggs with garlic chives , followed by slow roasted pork with a sweet sauce and lastly a custard made in the local style -it was a large portion again!
