Salamancan nerve centre
The Calle Toro is one of the busiest axis' in the city, above all for Salamancans, not so much for tourists. It is the nerve centre of the city, a great shopping street, where you can find everything. For example, in the "outside" part, further from the centre is Carrefour, a supermarket smaller than the one found exiting the city, but very convenient if you don’t have a car. The rest are clothes shops, opticians, shoes, pharmacies, drugstores ... Calle Toro is a pedestrian street and exits out of the Plaza Mayor in Salamanca, to the right of the front of the town Hall.
Do not miss the Zara store, which is an ancient convent converted into a store, but preserving facades and historic walls of the place of worship.
Where once there were plenty of small shops, you now find more national brands than anything else, but they try to counterbalance the large shopping centres outside the city and that's always good, because the historical centre is much livelier.
