Our tour guide informed us that this was supposed to be a "SPA site" of the old Rome. Now, the place is a wide area where stones of interesting shapes can be found, with holes that were supposed to be windows and doors probably. Of course one can't help but imagine the male and female Romans reclined for their massage and facial. Let's not forget to picture people eating bunches of grapes, as they hold them high above their mouths. That's how I use to see the scenes in the movies.
Trees are lined-up in the area, making it a relaxing view to see. The vast blue sky of the perfect day is a bonus.

Fotos de Salamanca
I find Salamanca an interesting place to be. It is rich with the Spanish culture with wonderful sights to feed your eyes, your mind and your being.
Salamanca is a city in western Spain, the capital of the province of Salamanca, which belongs to the autonomous community of Castile and Leon (Castilla y León). It lies about 200km west of Madrid and 100km east of the Portuguese border.
Salamanca is known both for its monumental sights and the University of Salamanca, which was founded in 1218 and is the oldest university in Spain and the fifth oldest western university. With its 30,000 students, the university is, together with tourism, the economic engine of the city. Salamanca is also known for the teaching of Spanish language, in this field, Salamanca houses 16% of the offer available in Spain and is known to attract thousands of foreign students.
