Many people in Salamanca prefer eating pinchos (like tapas) to traditional three-course meals, and they often choose this place because their raciones (larger-sized portions) are very generous. At this bar, with the Plaza Mayor nearby and on a pedestrian street, you can enjoy pinchos morunos (pork kebab marinated in paprika and olive oil), grilled chops, cuttlefish, squid, omelettes, mussels, cheese, cured pork loin and anchovies at very reasonable prices. You can order some local wine and sit at any of their wooden tables in order to share several of these raciones and pinchos with friends.

This is definitely the most famous nightclub in town. It was opened fifteen years ago and it is very popular with foreigners studying at the local university. It is ideally located right in the center of the town, in a pedestrian area with many coffee shops and fast food restaurants all around.

When you enter, you'll feel you are entering a medieval castle with typical passageways, turrets, dungeons and knights in shining armor. They have a very interesting replica of the famous Excalibur sword, too. There are two rooms with different atmospheres to choose from. On the ground floor, there is the dance floor, while on the first floor, you will find a quieter spot, great for a chat with friends. They also organize great concerts.
Popular with young politicians and Salamanca's beautiful people, this is a perfect place to have a drink and chat while enjoying the theme parties and promotional events in the summer on its huge outdoor terrace. Inside, it's so lush and green it's like a forest. Lots of people come for the big screen TV to watch music videos, movies and football matches. There's good music too, and the space is split into a lively area and a chill-out zone.
