Retreat-Holidays
Spain: Salamanca
The glorious city of Salamanca goes back to pre-Roman times and its Roman bridge is still in use.
The University of Salamanca was founded in 1218 and is one of the oldest universities in the world. St John of the Cross studied there. Salamanca is also home to the Pontifical University of Salamanca, which is housed in the original Jesuit College.
The city has a wealth of beautiful and historic art and architecture, including the two universities, the old and new cathedrals and an array of palaces, convents and monasteries.
The hub of city life is the magnificent 18th century Plaza Mayor. Its arcades are lined with shops and cafés and the wide open space is often used for cultural events.
With its rich history of faith, art and learning, Salamanca makes a wonderful setting for our retreat-holiday on the theme of "Wisdom".
We are particularly fortunate to have secured both the very comfortable accommodation of the Royal Scots College and the agreement of its Rector, Revd Mgr Joe Toal, to be our principal retreat leader.
