  2. Camelot

    One of our favourites, this lively disco is actually part of the Convento de las Úrsulas. The décor is an incongruous sandstone-industrial fusion that works terrifically well but soon gets forgotten once the DJs get started. To get in, we wouldn't turn up in anything less than smart casual.

  3. Cum Laude

    Another discoteca with a touch more character and buzz than most is Cum Laude, with a sprawling mock-palace interior and a crowd that knows all the words.

  4. Delicatessen Café

    This super-cool café is all curves, soft lighting and chic décor. It's more pijo (beautiful people) than student hang-out.

  5. Garamond

    Rather baronial décor and a great selection of music.

  7. Irish Rover

    Salamanca's has two lively Irish pubs. Irish Rover pulls in the thirsty crowds and gets started a touch earlier than many Spanish bars. There's also good, cheap food.

  8. Litre Bars

    The collection of so-called 'litre bars' on Plaza de San Juan de Bautista are fun night-time hang-outs with a young crowd. Here you can guzzle a 1L cerveza (beer) for around €3.50 or a cubalibre (rum and coke with lemon juice) for around €5 .

  9. Morgana

  11. Posada de las Almas

    Decked out in a curious design mix of looming papier-mâché figures, doll houses and velvet curtains, this place attracts a mixed crowd - gay and straight, Spanish and foreign.

  13. Potemkin

    Salamanca's grungy alternative to the sophisticates elsewhere can be found at Potemkin, where you'll catch live rock music most nights. The neighbouring bars are similar, so dress down.

  14. Taberna La Rayuela

    This pleasantly low-lit upstairs bar buzzes with a 20-something crowd and is an intimate place, popular early in the evening for 'first drinks'.

  15. Tío Vivo

    Here you can sip drinks by flickering candlelight. It's in the must-visit category, if only to peek at the whimsical décor of carousel horses and oddball antiquities.

  16. Vinodiario

    Away from the crowds of the old city centre, this delightfully chilled wine bar is surrounded by pretty streets, staffed by knowledgeable bar staff and loved by locals who fill the outdoor tables when the weather's warm.
