Every year Salamanca has, just like most Spanish cities and villages, their own Ferias and Fiestas, parties and local celebrations!
The beautiful city of Salamanca
In Salamanca this year the Ferias are running from 8th to the 15th of September, and are kicked off and ended with a huge firework display over the river! Everyone gathers around near the river by the Puente Romano, the famous Roman bridge, and watches the fireworks and goes on to enjoy the food from the casetas, another big part of the Salamanca fiestas!
The casetas are little huts all over the city that are set up by all the best local cafés and restaurants where you can buy their special tapas. Each café that joins in prepares a special tapas, their best, for the fiestas and you can try this at their caseta. There’s a fixed price for all of the huts for a drink and a tapas, and there’s loads of variety between the food between all the different casetas. The huts are spread all over the city, down the main roads in the historical centre and further out too. This year there won’t be any casetas near the Plaza de Toros, the bull ring, but there’ll be more closer to the centre – 81 in total!
There are huts in the square by the University and Cathedral, down the roads in the historic centre, in little squares about the city with loads of atmosphere and even music, beautiful corners of the city with flowers where people sometimes forget to go and enjoy, and in all the main squares and points of interest across Salamanca!
There’s always loads of music in the Plaza Mayor at night, and this year will be no exception. There’s big concerts on and there’s loads of atmosphere, it’s a great chance to enjoy the city and see some of it’s beautiful sights with such a nice atmosphere.
Being in September the climate is perfect for this kind of event, the ferias are full of things going on all day and night for the week that they’re being celebrated in Salamanca. In the evening the weather is lovely and is the perfect temperature to be outside eating from the casetas and enjoying he live music in the square and the general atmosphere. The days are still sunny and lovely, but not too hot and sweaty! If you’re already studying with us it’s a great chance to enjoy the city, and if not, come and join in the fun!
