www.salamanca.orgwww.salamanca.orgwww.salamanca.orgGo check out the site, it is great and very complete. Sometimes ya gotta go further than multimadrid to get info like that, BLASPHEMY    As Paul said, Plaza Mayor is a must do and don't miss... CASA DE LAS CONCHAS C/ Compa��a, 2 Telf. � 923 26 93 17 Pretty much everything in the old city is beautiful. Check the page HERE for all the monuments  Don't forget to look for the "rana" (frog) on the sid of the University, it is an obligatory "chorrada" (silly thing to do) when visiting Salamanca. quote: La imagen emblem�tica de la Universidad es el maravilloso retablo plateresco que se presenta ante el patio de las Escuelas Mayores, donde est� la estatua de fray Luis de Le�n. Esta fachada plateresca, de inicios del siglo XVI, es una deliciosa obra que no s�lo suscita la admiraci�n de los amantes del arte, sino que atrae las miradas de los curiosos, que no dieren dejar de examinarla hasta que hallan la rana.
ENGLISH (more or less ) quote: The emblematic image of the university is the plateresque altarpiece type stone carving in front of the patio of the "Escuelas Mayores" (upper schools). There is a statue of Fray Luis de Le�n in the patio as well. The early 16th century stone facade is a delightful work of art that not only awakens the admiration of art lovers but also attracts the curious who can't seem to stop examining it until they find the frog.
Click HERE FOR MORE (in Spanish). Saludos, jer... p.d. last time I was there (a few yrs. ago, the frog was pretty worn down by the elements. Looked more like a bump
