Welcome to Valladolid, a city where you will find all the culture, fun and relaxation you were looking for. An ideal place to stroll around, admire impressive monuments or taste the best gastronomy.

The city of Valladolid is inhabited by some 300,000 inhabitants, a figure that makes it the first most populated municipality in the northwest of the country. However, this is not the most outstanding feature of the city, as Valladolid is especially famous for its rich history and its list of religious monuments dating back to the Middle Ages.

Valladolid as a city was not established until the arrival of Pedro Ansúrez in 1072. It attained great power under Charles I, who made Valladolid the capital. It also held this title between 1601 and 1606, when the powers were transferred to Madrid.

In this city the Catholic Monarchs were married and Enrique IV, Felipe II, Felipe IV and Ana de Austria were born. And the list of important events continues. Christopher Columbus died here, Cervantes finished Don Quixote and José Zorrilla was born and lived here.

If you feel like seeing a really curious festival, you can visit the International Film Week of Valladolid known as SEMINCI or come to the town when the Pingüinos motorcycle rally takes place. Be careful, during this event the traffic in the city is complicated so you should take extreme precautions when you get into your rental car.
