Trip to Salamanca, Spain 🇪🇸

It was a trip to Salamanca, Spain. This UNESCO World Heritage city is a perfect blend of old-world charm and vibrant student life, offering countless photo opportunities 📸 We started our adventure at the Plaza Mayor, the heart of the city. The baroque square is stunning at any time of day, but the real magic happens at sunset when the golden light reflects off the sandstone buildings ✨ It’s an ideal spot for wide-angle shots, capturing both the beauty of the architecture and the lively atmosphere. We arrived early in the morning to beat the crowds, allowing us to take some peaceful, early-morning photos before the hustle and bustle began 📸 📍Plaza Mayor, 37002 Salamanca, Spain We then visited the Universidad de Salamanca, one of Europe’s oldest universities. We were fascinated by the ornate architecture of Escuelas Mayores, particularly the intricate carvings above the main entrance. A highlight of our visit was hunting for the famous “frog on a skull,” hidden somewhere in the stonework. This quirky little detail makes for a fun and unique photo, especially with the historic façade in the background 😍 If you’re a fan of detailed architectural photography, this is a must-see 🙌 📍C. Libreros, 1, 37008 Salamanca, Spain One of the best spots for panoramic views of the city is the Catedral Vieja (Old Cathedral) ⛪️ The climb up the bell tower rewards you with sweeping views of the rooftops, the Tormes River, and beyond. We took a moment to capture the golden light over the city, which made the terracotta rooftops glow ✨ Inside, the cathedral itself is filled with history, and the detailed frescoes and stained-glass windows offered plenty of photo-worthy moments 📸 📍Plaza Mayor, 37008 Salamanca, Spain We also spent some time at the Convento de San Esteban, a peaceful and less-visited gem 💎 in the city. The monastery’s cloister is a tranquil haven, offering a quiet escape from the city’s hustle. We couldn’t resist photographing the beautifully intricate details of the church’s ⛪️ baroque altars and the ornate ceilings, which were both stunning and evocative 😍 📍Plaza del Convento, 37002 Salamanca, Spain We also made our way to the Calle Mayor, one of the main streets in Salamanca. The street itself is lined with impressive architecture, and the soft glow ✨ of the streetlights at night created the perfect setting for evening shots 📸 The city’s atmosphere changes with the setting sun, so I would highly recommend wandering through its charming streets during the golden hour to capture the city’s quieter side 🙌 📍Calle Mayor, 37001 Salamanca, Spain Salamanca is a city that offers so much for photographers, from its impressive historic buildings to its lively street scenes 🙌🙌🙌 #europetrip #travel #vacation
