Everyone knows Salamanca for its golden sandstone city.
But its surrounding province holds medieval villages, sacred fiestas, and landscapes that will leave you breathless.

1. La Alberca
The first village in Spain declared Conjunto Histórico-Artístico (1940).
Famous for its Jewish-Christian heritage, granite-and-timber architecture, and the 500-year-old tradition of releasing a pig (Marrano de San Antón) to roam freely.
