The Casa de las Conchas was built in the late 15th century. It's façade is decorated with about 350 shells of scallops, representing the Order on Santiago. It reminds me of Santiago de Comepostella in Galicia. It currently houses a public library, which I don't find time to enter. There are so many reasons for going back to Salamanca.
The 17th century Iglesia de San Martin.

The Pachamama is a popular chiringuito style restaurant on the banks of the Tormes with fine views of the cathedral. The food is wonderful. Traditional Mediterranean fare: big salads, pizzas, tortillas. The vegetarian amongst us is happy, especially with this view to enjoy.
