The mayor of Salamanca, Julian Lanzarote, and the councilman of Culture and Tourism, Julio Lopez Revuelta, attended the presentation of this work, which has come to light now taking advantage of the celebration in Salamanca Book Fair in the Plaza Mayor.

Published by Fundacion Salamanca Ciudad de Cultura, this book offers a vision "different" kind of Salamanca, where neighborhoods, cartoon face, take center stage or architectural elements "beyond the Plaza Mayor, the University or the cathedrals," according Formiga.

"It's a visual essay that reflects on the changes experienced by the urban fabric of Salamanca in the first decade of the century", says the mayor in the foreword of the book that, through 152 pages, covers the different neighborhoods of the city.

The 67 selected photographs show that the city "has the ability to reinvent itself," said Julian Lanzarote, who added that "the transformation of our city in the last decade has been more vertiginous than your external image and many projects buildings and infrastructure made during this period are configuring new identity for future generations. "

The book, with a circulation of 500 copies, may be purchased at a price of 20 euros in the usual facilities, plus the Book Fair being held today.
