Tips from the Community
Declared a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC) on December 7, 1983, this church is located in the heart of Tordesillas (Valladolid), one of the town's most iconic landmarks and the largest in the entire municipality. It is believed to have been built on the site of the former Tordesillas mosque. The main construction took place between the 16th and 17th centuries, with additions continuing into the 18th century. The church combines Gothic elements (the apse and the lower sections of the tower) with Neoclassical renovations inspired by El Escorial. Today, it serves as the headquarters for several Holy Week brotherhoods, housing processional floats such as the Virgin of Solitude and the Christ of Mercy.

The Plaza Mayor of Tordesillas was built in the 17th century as a perfect square, accessible from four streets. It features arcades, and the houses are two stories high, leaving space on the ground floor for shops, bars, and restaurants. The facades have large windows and balconies, ideally designed for viewing the various performances that have taken place there throughout history. Among other important buildings, the Town Hall is located in the plaza.

The building, constructed between the 16th and 18th centuries, began in the Gothic style and finished in the Neoclassical. Another striking feature is its tower, the tallest in the city. The Baroque-era organ is considered one of the finest in the region, both for its design and its state of preservation.

High on a hill near Urueña stands this Romanesque hermitage of Mozarabic origin, one of the most unique in Castile and León. What few know is that beneath its floor were found Visigothic pottery fragments and a small well used to collect rainwater, considered blessed. Local shepherds said that this water cured eyesight if applied at dawn. Today, the well remains, covered by a slab, and the hermitage continues to hold its air of mystery among the golden stones of the moor.

The Bodegas neighborhood of Mucientes, especially the one known as Cuarto de San Pedro, is one of the most unique ethnographic sites in Castile and León. The construction of wine cellars began outside the town center in the 16th century, as a measure to avoid risks within the town. In Mucientes, there are more than 200 underground wine cellars, mainly grouped in the neighborhoods of San Antón and San Pedro.
