A beautiful place

Spain’s biggest region, Castilla and Leon, is differentiated by the other regions through the fact that several civilizations left their fingerprints on every piece and every corner; the result is a region full of interesting places to visit, castles, monasteries and even fortifications, all of them marks and remains of old Spain. The amazing monuments hosted by this region are the main attraction factor for tourists, because they are pieces of its history; the Romans, the Celts and the Moors fought to conquer parts of this region. This is the reason why Castilla and Leon is also known as the region of fortifications and the castles’ land.

Avila and Burgos

Start your journey in Avila. The city is popular for having an almost complete set of walls dating back to the medieval era. It is also famous for its 88 towers and the 9 gateways which represent important sightseeing spots in the city. Burgos is popular for the Gothic Cathedral which is said to be of an overwhelming beauty. The Cathedral was founded in 1221 and it represents one of the places where the pilgrims heading towards Santiago de Compostela stop for a few hours.

Going to Salamanca and Segovia

The main attraction in Salamanca is the University, dating back to the 13th century; Salamanca’s University is also the oldest in Spain; hundreds of students enjoy the exquisite services of the University, as well as the bars and the pubs so famous for their tapas. If you want to discover Salamanca, visit it on foot. The departure point should be Plaza Mayor, a place where the Baroque architecture is at home. Segovia should be visited for two reasons: the famous Alcazar, the fortress and castle which guards the city from the top of the 152 steps which lead you to its gates, and the Roman Aqueduct, which is visible from any point if you are in the suburbs of the city.

Valladolid and Zamora

Valladolid is the capital of the region and a city full of cultural and architectural heritage; it is a place that should definitely be on your list, because if you haven’t seen it, you haven’t seen the essence of the region. Last but not least, go to Zamora. The Cathedral dating back to the 12th century is the main attraction of the city. The Romanesque Churches are also worth your attention. Go to Castilla and Leon and you will have an unforgettable holiday.
