Museo Casa Lis 

An Art Nouveau and Art Deco Museum in a modernista mansion (Art Nouveau was denominated modernismo in Spain), once belonging to the Lis family, which must have had a few bob. This is the most popular museum in Castile and León, apparently. In spite of its profusion of flags, the website is Spanish-only.

Tourist Information 

From the provincial government, and very fine too, though not especially comprehensive and not working especially well in any browser except Internet Explorer. Salamanca's towns and villages, nature, routes, active tourism and lodgings.

Trabanca 

Trabanca is a pleasant little place (population about 250) in the Arribes de Duero nature reserve, and set to become the headquarters for the new Duero-Douro EGTC, a kind of cross-border grouping of villages. The link goes to its municipal website, which tells you how happy they would be to show you around the old blacksmith's forge, or the pottery, or the "Traditional Buildings Theme Park," or the Visitors' Centre for the nature reserve, and if you would like to turn up for the monthly Portuguese flea market or cabrito, kid goat, de Arribes in the local restaurant, they will be delighted to see you as well. How on earth do 250 people including infants and the elderly manage to do all that?
