Monday 13, 2:00 pm: Lunes de Aguas – Although this is not an official festivity, it constitutes a very deep-rooted tradition in Salamanca to gather with friends or family on Lunes de Aguas (the Monday following Easter Sunday), go to the countryside or to the river and have a picnic. Tía Tula is no exception: we are having our picnic by the river and we'll bring hornazo (eating this Salmantinian delicacy on Lunes de Aguas is a must), empanadas and games. Come spend the afternoon with us!

Tuesday 14, 7:00 pm: Exhibition – With “El Cielo en Llamas” we'll get to know how an aurora borealis occurs, some testimonies of auroras happening over Salamanca in the past and a simulation of one over our city.

Friday 17, 8:00 pm: Concert – “Ávila, pulso y púa". We will take you to Teatro Juan del Enzina for this peculiar concert. Watch a taster here.
