Museum of the History of Automotive
Museo de Historia de la Automoción de Salamanca
An automobile museum in a former power station beside the Tormes River, displaying hundreds of vehicles from 19th-century carriages to classic sports cars.
The museum opened in 2002 in a former power plant near the Roman Bridge. Its collection comes from private collector Demetrio Gómez Plana and includes over a hundred antique cars, motorcycles and racing cars, along with car-culture items such as petrol pumps, license plates and tools. Many Spanish brands are also on display. Admission is about 5 euros, and the museum is closed on Mondays. It is a good choice for families or rainy days.
