People watching and menta chocolate gelato

Lots of old European cities are organized around central squares, often historically used for marketplaces and celebrations of all sorts. These days, the Plaza Mayor in Salamanca, Spain is filled with people at all hours of the day and night, both Spaniards and visitors. Delicious cafes and gelato stands ring the square and branching off of each corner is a busy pedestrian boulevard, packed with retail, food, and touristy stuff. Also many bars. The residents of Salamanca proudly boast that while Madrid's Plaza Mayor is the biggest and most famous in the country, theirs is the most beautiful.
