· GOLF
Family, cultural, language learning, gastronomic and conference tourism are all part of the market that the city of Salamanca has been focusing its efforts in recent years. Converting Salamanca into a golf tourism destination is the new challenge facing the city. The underlying project is called “Salamanca Bajo Par” (Salamanca under Par). Aimed at promoting midweek stopovers and golf during the week. The product is under increasing demand and the province of Salamanca has the resources to meet that demand: three golf courses just a stone’s throw from the city. Golf lovers can combine leisure activities and sport in a beautiful setting with a rich heritage, a plethora of cultural activities under the heading Salamanca Under Par.
