Visiting Valladolid
Valladolid is one of the great unknowns of Spain, but its historical-artistic heritage is worth contemplating. Inhabited by almost 302,000 inhabitants, it was the capital of Spain under Charles I, a title it held again during the first six years of the 17th century. Valladolid was also a pioneer of journalism in Spain. El Norte de Castilla was founded in its streets in 1854.
This is one of the most important cities in the autonomous community of Castilla y León. In fact, Valladolid is the seat of the Cortes and the Junta. It is also a perfect place to visit in several days or to start a route through the northern part of the country, and paying it a visit with a Furauto rental van is a piece of cake!
In the capital of Valladolid you can enjoy the Royal Sites, a term that includes the Royal Palace and the Palace of Pimentel, which currently houses the Provincial Council building. Also worth visiting are the Campo Grande, the Plaza Mayor, the Cathedral of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción and the churches of Santa María de la Antigua and San Pablo.
Valladolid is also home to the House-Museum of Miguel de Cervantes (current seat of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts), of José Zorrilla (home where the poet was born and lived) and of Christopher Columbus (replica of his palace in Puerto Rico). Typical Valladolid dishes include suckling lamb, suckling pig and roast kid. Sheep cheese is also typical of the area. Entrepinares and Flor de Esgueva are two of its most famous brands. The province also produces wines belonging to five Denominations of Origin: Ribera del Duero, Rueda, Cigales, Toro and Tierra de León.

Fight against fatal accidents on the road

Getting behind the wheel of a vehicle is serious and should be done in the best conditions trying to make stops on long trips and avoiding distractions however small or insignificant they may seem.
