With 16% of the market in Spain for teaching the Spanish Language, Salamanca attracts international students from all over the world. The University of Salamanca was founded in 1218, and is the oldest university in Spain.
In Filipino, we use the word "salamangka" to describe something out of the ordinary or not the usual. It may mean "Magical" or "Mysterious". Perhaps a borrowed word in reference to this Spanish city and the mystery it holds. One magical instance would be this somewhat figure of a futuristic spaceman carved on the wall of the Cathedral of Salamanca. Perhaps a pun or a play with the design during its restoration efforts, or perhaps a depiction of something magical during the 16th to 18th century. #SpainAwaitsYou #YouDeserveSpain #VisitSpain
