Dive into this historically rich city, the de facto capital of the autonomous community of Castile and León. Valladolid, home to roughly 300,000 inhabitants, nestles in the northern heartland of the Iberian Peninsula, cradled by the confluence of the Pisuerga and Esgueva rivers. Founded by the Celtic Vaccaei and later occupied by the Romans, Valladolid's history has been shaped by many hands, and it shows in its diverse architecture and vibrant culture.

An important stage for Europe's first moral debate on indigenous rights and Christopher Columbus's final resting place, Valladolid's prominence has withstood the test of time. It was even the capital of Habsburg Spain, albeit briefly, in the early 17th century. Today, the city is a hub of cultural delights, hosting the Theatre and Street Arts Festival (TAC), the Valladolid International Film Festival (Seminci), and a stunning Holy Week procession. In 2019, Valladolid's cinematic contributions were recognised internationally when it was included on UNESCO's esteemed Creative Cities Network as a City of Film.
