  1. A

    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.

    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.

    Chido’s Bar

    A popular place for American students seeking their Tex Mex fix with tacos, nachos and guacamole, accompanied by cocktails or Corona beer. Head downstairs to the great barrel-vault space with its intriguing ancient tunnel entrance that leads to Plaza Mayor.

    Vinodiario

    Away from the crowds of the old-city centre, this delightfully chilled wine bar is staffed by knowledgeable bar staff and loved by locals who, in summer, fill the outdoor tables for early evening drinks. The tapas are innovative and delicious.

    Tío Vivo

    Sip drinks by flickering candlelight to a background of ’80s music, enjoying the whimsical decor of carousel horses and oddball antiquities. There is live music Tuesdays to Thursdays from midnight.

    Posada de las Almas

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

    Café El Corrillo

    Great for a beer and tapas at any time, with live music on Friday nights from 11.30pm. The terraza (terrace) out back is perfect on a warm summer’s evening.

    Potemkin

    Salamanca’s grungy alternative to the sophisticates elsewhere can be found at Potemkin, where you’ll catch live rock music most nights. Dress down.

    Taberna La Rayuela

    This low-lit upstairs bar buzzes with a 20-something crowd and is an intimate place. It's probably our favourite spot in town for first drinks.
