Valladolid

Since it’s becoming in the medieval times, Valladolid has become known as “the place where the waters merge”. So old, in fact, that it’s old town is witness to the passing of different cultures even civilisations. Today, however, it’s an economic, social and cultural hotpot like you’d come to expect from any other main European cosmopolitan city. To the “vallisoletanos” Plaza Espana is the main attraction but to the visitor there is so much more to see with its’ collection of historically important monuments and buildings. One of which is the “Casa Colon” where, in 1506, witnessed the passing of discoverer “Colombus”.

You can’t miss the “Puente Colgando” or “hanging bridge” which joins the banks of the river. Another must see for the visitor is the Casa Campo an impressive and most beautiful park right in the centre of the city. Watch out for the pheasants and peacocks whilst marvelling at its splendour. The surrounding province is fortunate enough to blessed with four of Spain’s famous grape varieties, (Toro, Cigales, Rueda and Ribera del Duero) for any wine lover this is close to heaven, but if that wasn’t enough some of the typical culinary offerings of the region contemplate to perfection with dishes such as roast lamb, rabbit pie and the excellent pastries.
