The past few days have been absolutely beautiful here in Salamanca, so all day yesterday I was out and about, eating tapas and just walking around town. It was just too beautiful to be cooped up inside. Then last night, I ended up at the train station, and not for the purpose of embarking on a trip. No, I was there purely for entertainment.
You see, the train station here in Salamanca, Vialia, is not your average boring train station where trains arrive at and depart from. The train station is much, much more than that:

Last night I was at the train station to see a movie, believe it or not. If I had wanted to go bowling, I would have also ended up at the train station. You can also go shopping at the many stores located inside, or even dine on tapas or go for drinks in Vialia, as well. My first time at Vialia last summer I was pretty blown away by everything it had to offer. It is an entire mall stuffed into a train station. Oh, and there's a grocery store connected to it, in case you have a few items to pick up while waiting to catch your train. My favorite South Dakotan, Ashley, and I would buy cookies and Nutella for our trips while we were waiting for our train to wherever it is that we were traveling to. Some friends and I tried to go bowling there not too long ago, but all the lanes were occupied so we got tapas and beer instead. Basically, if you want a cool place to hang out in Salamanca, just head over to the train station. Interesting, huh?
By the way, the movie I saw last night was The Artist which is a silent film and it was pretty fantastic. If you are looking for a good movie to see, I highly recommend it.
I hope everyone is having a great Tuesday and enjoying the last week of 2011 :)
XOXOXO
