¿Donde está Salamanca?

So for those of you who might be wondering, Salamanca is a large university town in the north-west of Spain, located near Portugal and north of Madrid.  Home to 30,000+ students, it is one of the oldest universities in Europe, officially founded in 1255...like back when the Mongols had a powerful empire in Asia, and when Marco Polo was traveling the world.

Wow.
