Party time & Turkish Tapas in Salamanca
Since two weeks already I’m able to enjoy the Salamancan student life again. Last year in October my six weeks of learning Spanish in this paradise for students were fantastic. Here I learned my first Spanish words, met a lot of interesting people and enjoyed being a student of this beautiful city. Now, after studying Spanish and having an excellent time in Madrid, Seville and Granada, it feels good to be back again.
It’s pretty clear that students, both Spanish and international, love the nightlife of Salamanca. Partying is possible in the thousands of café-bars and discotheques or at botellons (drinking on the streets like the young Spanish do, nowadays a bit difficult, because I thinks it’s prohibited in Salamanca). But this week I discovered a new form of partying in Salamanca. What do you think of a great party in a student flat, or piso as they call it in Spain? A sort of ‘Mi casa es tu casa’.
Together with around the fifty other language students I went to the farewell party of Noyan, a Turkish fellow student I met last year here in Spain. Smart plan of him to warn his neighbours in time, fifty people at his piso can make a lot of noise. Especially when one of them is a talented guitar player from New York. The ambiance was great: students from all over the world, from the United States to the Netherlands and from Canada to Turkey, all had a great evening, whether they were enjoying the music, a cosy chat or some ‘Turkish Tapas’.
The original plan was that the dj of the local discotheque Posada de las Almas would plant his turntables in the piso, but it was too busy. To avert problems we moved to this disco in the city centre. And here the party went on until the wee hours. And that on a Tuesday night. Yeah. This is Salamanca.
