Madrid is the international airport closest to Salamanca.
From there, it is possible to come to Salamanca by train
(3.5 hours) or by bus (2.5 hours).
There are also trains that link Salamanca with Barcelona, Bilbao, Oporto
and Valladolid and buses to any major spanish city.
From the airport, the easiest way to get to Conde de Casal
