Leaving from Campo de Ciudad Rodrigo

Ciudad Rodrigo, a walled town in the west of the province, is the last main town before the Portuguese border and the centre of a very large cattle-farming area. For the main hospital, specialist care and the train, people go to Salamanca.

Which way it goes

Salamanca is a large province with its population concentrated in the capital, and the roads fan out from it: the A-62 to Ciudad Rodrigo, the A-66 to Guijuelo and Béjar, the A-50 to Peñaranda. There is hardly any direct transport between the market towns, so the most common internal trips are from the villages into Salamanca: hospital, station, university and errands.

Plaza Mayor de Salamanca, seen from Salamanca

The Plaza Mayor is Salamanca's pedestrian heart and the city's meeting point. Traffic is restricted in the surrounding old town, so cars drop off and pick up on the nearest access streets; it helps to give the hotel or exact address.

On arrival: Campo de Salamanca

The city of Salamanca and Santa Marta de Tormes, across the river and now almost joined to it, make up the province's urban area. The university, the hospital and the station are here, so it is both the starting point for trips to Madrid and the arrival point from the rest of the province.

When demand peaks

• Salamanca's September fair (September): The Virgen de la Vega festivities fill Salamanca in early September, with concerts, bullfights and a busy nightlife. The centre has road closures and late-night returns to the villages are the most sought after.
• Holy Week in Salamanca (Easter week): The processions wind through the old town and coincide with many visitors and with holiday departures towards Barajas. Streets close as the brotherhoods pass, and the pickup point should be outside the route.

Tip: If you arrive at the university with several suitcases at the start of the year, say so when booking so the car has enough boot space.
