Salamanca and San Sebastian, Spain

We stayed at Salamaca for a night on our way out through Spain. Salamanca is a university town and the universities are in very old buildings. We visited the Salamanca cathedral which is actually two cathedrals built in the same spot. The old one and the new one which was joined to it 500 years ago.

Salamanca has a really nice, very large public square and old narrow streets.

We also stayed in San Sebastian which is on the border of France and Spain. San Sebastian is in the Basque region. When we visited they were having a festival of St Thomas andeveryone was dressing up in their traditional costumes. The squares were so busy that we go trapped and it took a long time to get through from one side to the other.
