Public Library of Salamanca - Casa de las Conchas
Public Library of Salamanca - Casa de las Conchas is located in the heart of Salamanca's old town and is a highly recognizable palace in this university city. Construction began in the late 15th century, commissioned by Rodrigo Arias Maldonado, a knight of the Order of Santiago, and it took over 20 years to complete. The facade blends a Gothic framework with early Renaissance Plateresque ornamentation, serving as a testament to the era of transition between old and new architectural styles. More than 300 protruding scallop shell carvings cling to the exterior, densely covering the walls, a feature quite rare among similar buildings in Spain. Today, the building serves as a public library. Stepping inside, you can visit the courtyard surrounded by two-story arcades, where the row of short marble columns on the upper level is particularly exquisite.Spain · Salamanca

There is a very famous building in Salamanca, the Shell Stand, which is famous because tens of thousands of shells are carved on the outer wall of the building. It looks densely packed, hence the name. It is also one of the most famous attractions in Salamanca, and you must come and see it.

The main square of Salamanca is said to be the most beautiful in Spain. It is indeed beautiful, but the weak light in winter cannot compare with the bright sunshine in summer, so the photos we took are not as good. There are many celebrity portraits around the square. According to LP, Franco's portrait is covered with plastic bags to prevent it from being damaged, but we didn't find it and left.

Bom Jesus do Monte is a notable sanctuary and pilgrimage site situated on a hill in the outskirts of Braga, a historic city in northern Portugal. Inscribed in 2019 as a UNESCO world heritage site, the sanctuary is completely accessible to the public and does not charge any entrance fee. The most iconic feature of the sanctuary is the monumental Baroque stairway leading to the Church of Bom Jesus do Monte. We took a taxi which send us to the church directly we so skipped climbing up the 577 steps on the 116-metre stairway. Instead we walked down the stairway after visiting the sanctuary complex. An alternative way to reach the church is by taking the water-powered funicular. The fee is 2 euros for a one-way journey and 3 euros for a round trip.

A very beautiful place. If you're on a tour bus, be prepared for a hike, bring comfortable shoes and water; there are no cafes or restaurants at the very end.
If you're looking for a budget option, you can take a bus from Bilbao to Bakio, then walk 3 km.

The Roman Bridge is a famous historical relic in Salamanca. It still spans the Toleme River intact. The arches near the city end date back to the 1st century AD, and the rest were rebuilt after being destroyed by floods. This bridge witnessed the prosperity of Salamanca in the Middle Ages.

【Bilbao】This place, whether it is the new city or the old city, is beautiful and a good place.
I bought gas in Spain and found it was half cheaper than in France. I felt like I finally got gas at a reasonable price. No wonder the yellow vests in France were going to smash, smash, loot and burn, but after all the trouble, gas prices still haven’t come down♀️ At that time, I had the urge to fill every empty bottle in the car and take it back to France.
