Travel to Salamanca with your rental car

Welcome to Salamanca, the World Heritage City. In this capital you will find a good dose of culture, entertainment and relaxation. All this together with an incredible gastronomy. And, as we at Furauto want you to enjoy your trip to the fullest, here we leave you a small guide with tips that we hope will be useful.

Almost 145,000 inhabitants have the luxury of living in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Some of the most important people in history, such as Antonio de Nebrija, Christopher Columbus, Fernando de Rojas, Francisco de Vitoria or Miguel de Unamuno, have passed through or lived in Salamanca.

The origins of Salamanca date back to 2,700 years ago, when a group of settlers settled on the hill of San Vicente. During this time, the city was conquered by Vacceans, Vetons, Romans, Visigoths, Muslims and Christians.

Its university, the oldest of all those active in Europe, was founded in 1218 by Alfonso IX of León.

The cultural itinerary known as "Huellas de Santa Teresa" (Footsteps of Saint Teresa), which covers the most emblematic places founded by the saint, also passes through this town.

Salmantinos include the coach Vicente del Bosque, the composer Tomás Bretón, the actor Santiago Ramos, the singer Rafael Farina, the humorist Quequé, the writer Carmen Martín Gaite, the film critic Carlos Boyero and the soccer player Álvaro Arbeloa.

The old town has many pedestrian areas and the squares closest to the center are usually governed by the Parking Ordinance (blue, green or orange zones). Therefore, from Furauto we recommend that you do not waste time or patience and leave your car in one of the public or private parking lots in the city.
