The food is great although the Spaniards eat very late. But hey, when in Rome (or Madrid)...
I did a day trip to Salamanca. This is a very old university city about 200 km west of Madrid. One of the things to do here is to spot the frog on the university door.
One of the many very old buildings in Salamanca.
