Considering the significant number of studies on political, economic and even social aspects of the relationships between the medieval Portuguese and Castilian kingdoms and those between Portugal and Spain in the 16th and 17th centuries, our purpose is to analyse its cultural aspects based on the close relationship between the University of Salamanca and the North of Portugal during the 15th and 16th centuries. This area of research is far from being unfamiliar to both Portuguese and Spanish researchers, since the presence of Portuguese students that university is well known. Our aim, however, is to discuss the reasons why, during the 16th and 17th centuries, so many students from Northern Portugal attended the University of Salamanca. It is our belief that this will shed some light on the cultural atmosphere of the region of Além Douro.
