Just 4 km from Salamanca, Villamayor is a destination that combines history, culture, nature, and flavor in a tranquil and welcoming setting. Its hallmark is the famous Villamayor stone, that golden hue that has brought life to architectural gems like the Salamanca Cathedral or the University. Walking through the town means encountering the quarrying tradition that has shaped its history and remains alive today in workshops and open-air sculptures. Beyond its heritage wealth, Villamayor offers natural trails along the Tormes River, perfect for hikers and nature lovers, and agricultural landscapes of La Armuña, where some of Spain's best lentils are cultivated. The local gastronomy is another major attraction: hornazo, artisanal cured meats, sheep's cheese, and traditional sweets accompany any visit, especially during its popular festivals, where the hospitality of the locals is an essential part of the experience. Villamayor is, without a doubt, a place to experience the authentic essence of Salamanca.
