Back into Spain ... first stop, Salamanca. The city itself was great: a nice cosy, friendly atmosphere and cheap, which for Spain means verging on the truly ridiculous. One of the many benefits of being a student town I guess. The University Quarter itself was pretty amazing: loads of old sandstone buildings with the names of the faculties painted onto the walls in elaborate script (scantioned graffiti almost) and of course, the famous little carved frog - well hidden in the main entrance's elaborately detailed façade. The seminary and main cathedral were also impressive - ongoing church burnout prevented me from going in, but there were enough spires, domes and flying buttresses to keep this architectural fan a happy chap indeed.
