I recently stayed at the San Polo when visiting a friend in Salamanca. The ruins of the old church are beautifully integrated into the hotel. The outside patio is a lovely place for coffee or a drink. The room was comfortable, the bathroom was spacious and the air conditioner worked well. I had breakfast one morning and it was very reasonable for 6 euros. The buffet contained cereal, fresh fruits and juices, breads, meats and cheeses, Spanish tortilla as well as bacon and ham and eggs. The hotel is located toward the edge of town but is very close to everything.
The Old and New Cathedrals were interesting and the university and town are very impressive. The Church of St. Stephen was an interesting surprise.
I watched Spain win the World Cup while sitting in a cafe on the Plaza Mayor and that was unforgettable.
