Valladolid is one of the most significant cities in the whole of Spain but not as well visited as other major cities in Spain. However, in stumbling into Valladolid you will be stumbling onto a real gem. The Gothic churches of Santiago are some of the most spectacular buildings in the whole city, and the sixteenth century Plaza Mayor is presided over by a statue of the Count Arsurez.

The Palace of Los Pimentel is currently the one of the most important seats in the whole of Spain, and the spectacular Palace of the Marquises of Valverde is a classicist building that is also well worth looking at. The nineteenth century Valladolid is one of the most significant buildings in the whole town and was the home of one of the capital’s most illustrious characters, Jose Zorrilla. One of the primary reasons for interest in the area is the Knight’s Route which leads from the other areas and is one of the most well trodden in the whole of Spain.
