Saturday, May 20 was International Museums Day , we, students at Tia Tula, made use of this opportunity to visit for free the new art museum of Salamanca, also known as Casa Lis and the Automobile Museum (Museo de la automoción).
The Casa Lis museum overlooks the
river Tormes, it features beautiful stained glass windows decorated with floral
pattern and has a large variety of art pieces: sculptures, jewelry, perfumes,
fans, antique dolls ... It is a must for anyone visiting Salamanca.
The automobile museum meanwhile
offers a large collection of cars, sweeping the centuries since the invention
of the automobile until today. This museum is particularly interesting for car
enthusiasts but it is also an opportunity for others to take beautiful photos.
After these two museums, we also
visited (or revisited for some of us) the patio of the Casa de las Conchas and the
old cathedrals which entrance is always free. We then headed to the Van Dyck neighbourhood
to eat Tapas and ended our meal with an ice-cream from the glacier in the Plaza
Mayor, the historic center of the city.
This very fun day has been an
opportunity to learn more about the Spanish culture and the main tourist
attractions of Salamanca.
