3 reviews of Calle de Libreros & Calle de La Latina

University atmosphere

The areas of Calle libereros and La Latina are widely known in Salamanca. They are located near the University building (with its famous facade and frog). The two intersect crosswise and it is there on its axis, where the most life is and why they are so well known.

Calle Libereros takes you from the Pontifica University to the Santa María de los Ángeles library (better known as "Libreros"). The street is almost 100% straight, and along its course we bump into the old University building, the Miguel de Unamuno house-museum and many bars and souvenir shops.

Calle La Latina is much smaller, and cuts perpendicular to that of Libereros, really close to the library "Libereros". In this street there are many private homes and bars, in fact that’s all there is.


The reason that they are so well known and popular today is that there are two large libraries located on these streets: The already mentioned "libreros" and the Abraham Zacut Library (which is on another street parallel to libereros, but just 100 meters away). It is a somewhat deserted area at the start of the school year and just after exams, but during the two months before exams (especially June, with the good weather ...) is when life returns. The libraries are filled leaving not one empty seat, and the bars around are salvation during study hours. At any time day or night you will find people going from the library to the bars, the libraries open 24hours a day and many bars conform to these schedules since they are guaranteed a good income. 1.5 euros for a small beer+ tapas, perfect for snacking.

If one day you study in these libraries you will live it for yourself, although I recommend that during exam weeks you only go by day, because at night sometimes even the library becomes a bar!
