Eating & Drinking in Salamanca

This coffe shop funded in 1905 and located in the Plaza Mayor (Great Square) is the oldest one in the city and was the preferred spot to relax and chat for intellectuals and writers such as Unamuno, Carmen Martín Gaite or Gonzalo Torrente Ballester. Nowadays is far from being the coolest coffe shop in the city, but their ice-creams, made in their own factory, really deserve a bite.

The best bar in the city in an amazing building! Live music and good drinks.

Horrible name and worse entrance. Don't expect a better decoration inside. But this pub located between Plaza Mayor (Great Square) and Gran Vía is actually the best one to start the night if you like the good indie-rock music. Cheap beer and cocktails and good people.

From 12:30 to 2:00 a.m. it's the best timing; after that usually gets too crowded on weekends.

Awesome tostas (toasted bread with a topping), great variaety and amazing price.
Have them with cañas or with any of the many great wines from the area.

Despite being far from the center this bar is very popular among the students to take a coffee or a cold beer every afternoom and especially during late spring and summer, when you can enjoy the terrace. Avoid it on weekends afternoom if you are not into soccer.

Once a year they held the Short-films Festival of Castilla y León.

The best choice for an ice-cream or a real good juice. Near the Pontificia University and Casa de las Conchas it's a very good place for resting in your walk.

The area sorrounding Van Dick street is the most famous to eat "pinchos" and "tapas"; small dishes of food served for free with the drink in many cases. Hundreds of "Salmantinos" and students pilgrimage everyday from 20:00 to 23:00 from one bar to another to taste the different specialties served in each place. The city is famous for its grilled meet.

This disco pub is a real classic in the city. Has been opened for three decades and nowadays is still a well known spot. Two floors with good music and good prices. The last stop for the long nights as it closes at 5:30.
