Discover the historic-artistic heritage of one of the most important cities of the province of Salamanca: Ciudad Rodrigo.

Ciudad Rodrigo is a town in the province of Salamanca, located half way between the capital city of the province and the Portuguese city of Guarda. Its main attraction is its heritage, which earned it the title of Historic-Artistic Site in 1944, so take advantage of our holidays in Ciudad Rodrigo and come and discover it for yourself.

The history of this city has been marked by struggles between the different civilisations who have passed through and have bequeathed the city with a wealth of monuments to admire. Some of its main attractions are the Cathedral of Santa María and the city walls, the Castle of Enrique II de Trastámara and the City Hall. You mustn’t leave without first crossing the medieval bridge that crosses the River Águeda, or without taking a tour of the city and discovering more of its splendid monuments, such as the three Roman columns or the Chapel of Cerralbo.

If you really want to get to grips with the city’s culture, check out our cheap trips to Ciudad Rodrigo to enjoy its traditional festivities. Tradition is very important in this city in the province of Salamanca, so much so that its Holy Week has been declared a festivity of Regional Tourist Interest, and the Carnaval del Toro is the busiest time of year for Ciudad Rodrigo.

Don’t miss our package holidays in Ciudad Rodrigo to enjoy the city’s cuisine, whose typical dish par excellence is a cold meat, farinato, and is characterised by typical stews, such as patatas meneás, and meat such as menudos.

Check out our trips to Ciudad Rodrigo and make the most of your getaway to visit Salamanca, where the beauty of its streets and various monuments will leave you speechless. As the city is just 15 miles from Portugal, you also have the option of visiting some Portuguese towns, such as Guarda and Fundão.
