Vía De La Plata Garcia, Daniel, Daniel Garcia Trio & Guests

Salamanca is a city steeped in history, with ancient archaeological sites. For centuries student priests have walked in their flowing robes along the Calle Compañia, a central street shadowed by tall baroque buildings. The city was one of the main stopovers on the Vía de la Plata ('the silver way'), a Roman route from North to South of the Iberian peninsula.

Daniel García has a deep feeling for what that ancient silver thread through his country means: it gave the peninsula its main artery. Spain exists as a melting pot of different cultures, with influences Celtic and Nordic, from the Eastern Mediterranean and Africa, and from the Americas too. Vía de la Plata is a living symbol of how "all of this melts together in Spain," as García explains.
