Going up Calle San Pablo, you'll come to the square called Concilio de Trento. There you can admire the spectacular convent Convento de San Estaban and the more discreet one Convento de las Dueñas. You can visit both, though we prefer viewing the exterior of the former (it costs 3€ to enter) and visiting the cloister of the latter (2€), a maximum expression of Salamanca Renaissance style and a haven of peace and tranquillity. In the las Duenas convent there is a shop that sells sweets made by the nuns. The most typical are the Bocaditos (marzipan with "cabello de ángel" filling) and the Amarguitos (almond-based sweets). They are expensive, however (9€ for a small box). Open from 10:30 to 12:45 and 16:30 to 17:30. Closed Sundays and holidays.
