The temperatures have dropped and now it’s time to look for a change of routine from the swimming pool and barbeque. Luckily the people of Salamanca – and those studying Spanish in Salamanca too – have a lot of choice! Here we list the top activities in Salamanca in the Autumn!
It’s cold outside but there’s more than one good reason to wrap up and get out the house in Salamanca! There’s a great selection of activities and events on offer right through Autumn and into the winter – the main problem will be choosing which to go to, there are so many!
The Culture Aquí programme provides a thorough guide to exactly what you can find where in the city and here we give you our top selection which you should most definitely not miss! It’s a great chance to get an idea of Spanish culture if you are here studying in Spain – with not just the typical music and art, but dance, theatre and monologues too…All activities which would make any language learning trip ever the more memorable!
Our first selection is flamenco from Eva Yervabuena. Awarded the National Dance Prize in 2001 and armed with a new show “Lluvia“, dance lovers from all over the region can enjoy a spectacle set to make great impact. The show will take place on 27th December in the CAEM theatre and for just 15 Euros, spectators can enjoy 1’5 hours of Eva’s special version of typical Spanish dance.

Staying with music, but moving to a different theme, we highlight the international Opera of Carmen, which will be shown in Salamanca’s CAEM on the 15th November with entry price set between 15 and 20 Euros. It will be the National Spanish Dance Company performing, with music specially composed for the occasion by famed guitarrist José A. Rodriguez. An opportunity not to miss, the Carmen opera is a classic for all ages to enjoy, whether the spectators be opera fanatics or not.

Moving to cinema now, we recommend anyone with an interest in Spanish film and history to check out the “Tristina” showing in the Liceo Theatre on 22 December. By the famed Luis Buñel, it is a representative film about stunning Spanish city Toledo.
Students can enjoy a taste of Spanish humour with Shown Park on 26th December, Boxing Day. In the Liceo Theatre for just 12 Euros, spectators can see skits of typical Spanish chracaters from the gossiping grandmothers in the parks to the teenagers with their far-fetched dreams. A great and fun taste of Spanish humour, the show really is an eye opener.
Our last recommendation is that of Joaquín Sabina, a singer, author, poet and musician famed in Spain who Salamanca residents will be able to enjoy on 20-21st November for 26-46 Euros in the Multiusos venue, Salamanca.
So take your pick and make your langauge learning experience the most enjoyable possible – all whilst learning about the culture of Spain!
