CLUE

In Salamanca the most common place to meet is “UNDER THE CLOCK”.

TASK

Miguel de Unamuno was a Spanish philosopher and writer. In his work he cultivated a great variety of literary genres: novel, essay, theater and poetry. Since the beginning of his residency in Salamanca, he took an active role in cultural life. He was rector at the University of Salamanca from from 1900 to 1924 and 1930 to 1936. Find his medallion, and all the group must take a selfie with him.

CLUE

This remains as the place of residence for the Dominicans.

CLUE

Another legend says that if you find this FROG you will pass your exams.

TASK

This place contains the medallion of the Catholic Monarchs (Fernando and Isabel). Take a picture pointing directly to the spot where is the frog.

CLUE

TASK

On almost every university building, you will find famous "vítores". In the courtyard, find the vítores that the group likes the most, take a picture.

CLUE

¿What place did Fernando de Rojas choose to recreate CALIXTO Y MELIBEA?

TASK

Make a video representing a scene from La Celestina: “Calixto enters the garden of Melibea and, upon seeing her, falls in love with her (with Melibea). He begins to speak to her, but she rejects him”.
