Universidad de Salamanca (USAL)

I was a bit hesitant at beginning, but as I speak French and English at home, learning Spanish turned out to be easier than expected.

Travel tips: look for cheap flights to near cities. You really have to as Salamanca does not have an airport. Once there finding accomodation is not difficult. If you do not find an appartment immediately, you can stay in a hostel for a while, at a cost of about 10 to 12 euros per night. Discover the city to find the special spots.

Phone booths were covered with offers of persons looking for room mates, and the university administration offered the opportunity to obtain a list of all these offers.

Salamanca is simply a beautiful city and has something for everybody. Ancient buildings, friendly people, clean streets. Every night had its special bars, offering amazing prices. Tuesday and wednesday many bars offered a 'barra libre', which means you can have an 'all you can drink' stamp on your hand for 3 or 4 euros. And then you had the weekend when prices were raised a bit, but were still under the European average. As Salamanca is located near the middle of Spain, it is really easy to discover the rest of the country by renting a car. Madrid, Sevilla, Lisbon, Porto and Santander are a couple of the numerous cities within reach.
