Overview

We will start the tour leaving Madrid on the way to Salamanca. Once there, you will have the opportunity to discover its patrimonial legacy with its innumerable corners and details.

We will also visit the Cathedral. We will finish in the surroundings of the Plaza Mayor, where you will have time to taste its fantastic gastronomy and savor its iconic `tapas´.
