Valladolid

The city of Valladolid, modern yet historical, is surrounded by plains and open plateaux. The countryside consists of vineyards and arable farming, pigeon lofts and castles as well as monumental churches.

The area features hills dominated by church towers and impressive castles, such as the castles of Montealegre and Mota del Marqués. The area is also famous for its wines: vineyards work their way in between such impressive monuments as the castles of Curiel and Peñafiel. The Peñafiel castle houses the Museo Provincial del Vino (The Wine Museum of the Province)
