if you meant to say "I was going to visit Salamanca..." you would need an a after iba.

The apellidos that get passed on to your children would always be the paternal apellidos. So a child's first apellido would be the surname from their paternal grandfather and the second apellido would be the surname from their maternal grandfather.

Ex. María Torres Blanco marries Raúl Villa Sanz and they have a son named Mateo. Mateo's name would be Mateo Villa Torres. Then Mateo marries Lucía Domínguez Silva and they have a daughter named Estela. So Estela's full name is Estela Villa Domínguez.

I hope that helped.
