The Spanish Garden

Just when you think you've seen everything, a European city can surprise. Huerto de Calixto y Melibea, is a small, very beautiful public Salamanca garden overlooking the river and below the cathederal. It was made famous by featuring in one of the great literary works in Spanish, La Celestina. Huerto de Calixto y Melibea, Calle Arcediano, 20, 37008 Salamanca, Spain

Roses, fountains, rustic well with lots of contemporary romantic padlocks; intimate nooks. Accidentally came across a two young lovers reenacting the garden assignation rather explicitly. Averted eyes and did not take pics.

Rushed to the Librería Nueva Plaza Universitaria bookshop in the basement of the Philosophy Dept. and bought the classic in paperback for Nancy who was, at that moment, doing battle with some of the tougher parts of the language's grammar. Very appropriate antidote for her.
