I watched my eyes out so I don't put this
at the shopping tips.
This market was build in 1882. It is the time
when iron structures are popular.
New materials are used.
INSIDE the market their is a cozy busyness.
Of course it is the place where the local mama's
come to shop. In general a lot of fresh
fish , meat are sold....
A bit dissapointed I was to find only one
tapasbar. But that's ok.
I had to get used to the smell the first few
seconds. (I'm very sensitive). Second I had to
get used to was what they were selling in
the butchers shops. A lot fo lung , kidney ,
heart... but also piglet sold in one piece.
The best way to look in the locals kitchen. Leave a Comment Address: Plaza del Val

MERDE! we didn't get in.
We saw this building on the outside and
it seemed to be a theater.
A closer look gave us a picture of the inside.
WAU , I would have loved to see anything
in this theater.
They do have a large offer of performances!
Music , opera , theater...
And now comes the convenient parth.
They also got a ticket selling mashine.
So ladies and gents , when you arrive and
you are staying for a couple of days..
Go and have a look at the program
announced at the entry.
Maybe you like this sort of buildings as well.
(tickets can cost as much as 50 euro for
the best places for opera performances-
and as little as a couple of euros for theater
for a bad place)

In the afternoon the shops close , people
seem to hide.. The city gets empty.
We found the perfect spot to enjoy the
weather , to relax and watch the locals...
There is a little garden in the parc , 'Campo Grande'
The entrance is in the middle of
'Paseo de Zorilla'
Children love to play with the water in the
fountain , mum and dad relax and eat some
tapas...Grandpa and grandma's gather
together making a lot of fun.
No , need to tire your feet , a robust waiter
brings the drinks.
Well , the fountain , it's a nice try.
Your in Spain , not in Italy. But the
sound is great. ;-) Leave a Comment

Most definitely a highlight for me was a visit
to the 'patio Herreriano'
The museum for modern art.
At first I was a little dissapointed-
it is a beautifull building.
(the fact that they reuse old buildings and
give them a new destination , fantastic)
Disapointed because the first 3 'salas' are
the permanent collection. I don't like those
paintings with 3 stripes and 5 colored
rectangles.
But it soon became better and showed the
true spirit of the new Spanish creative
generation.
-Javier Velasco : I write this story with tears.
'an installation with light reflecting all the
chrystal drops and a video with a swimming
baby'
-Cristina Garcia Rodero
'a whole room with fantastic pictures made
at mystic rituals in or outside Spain'
-Ana Laura Ala?z
'A facinating videoclib , shown in a pink
soft room. She even sings it herself'
What you need to know is that all of these
works are temporary. But it is sure a good
break from all that religious old art. Leave a Comment

How shall is subscribe the city Valladolid?
The city is located in the center of Spain ,
and the capital city of the the province
with the same name.
The city has about 350 000 inhabitants.
In Belgium that would be a large city...
But it doesn't feel like a large city.
The center has managed to completely
remain charming. A lot of people live in the
outskirts in large appartment buildings.
The city was already know as BALAD WALID
in the Moorish period (8th century).
In the city you can find a lot of monuments
reminding that rich history.
(and I went here to celebrate my brithday) Leave a Comment Directions: This amazing bird can be seen on a corner of the central shopping street on top of a magnificent building in 'calle Santiago'

Not what we were looking for.
But we saw the back of the building from
our hotel room and that made us curious.
The former ' Real Colegio Padres Agustinos Filipinos'
houses now one of the most beautiful
collections of ORIENTAL ART.
I think they ruined some parts of the interior a
bit. They got a nice collection of chinese
porcelain. Also a room with filipine-catholic art.
'Check the opening houres ! Leave a Comment Address: Paseo Filipinos 7Directions: Not far from the plaza colon , near the parc 'campo grande'

The Ayuntamiento - City Hall - is a nice building on Plaza Mayor. Like other buildings on this square, it is painted dark pink and has beautiful carved white stone. The City Hall is installed on this building since 1908. As the Plaza, this building also is a result of a project that follows a 16th century design, although some refurbishments were made since the early 1900's. Leave a Comment

Plaza Mayor is a colourful square in the centre of the city. Underneath the beautiful dark pink buildings, on the arcades, you will find some commerce such as cafes, jewelleries or drugstores. It is a pedestrians' square and cars are only allowed in a small area to access the underground parking space. Plaza Mayor seems to be a bustling square, as it was often full of people, both passers-by on their daily life and big groups of youngsters - students, tourists. Leave a Comment

This is the Central Park of Valladolid. It has a small lake with ducks and nice gardens containing red squirrels, peacocks, black swans and a lot of birdlife. It also has playgrounds for children and is used as a shortcut by the locals. It is definitely one of the nicer places in Valladolid. Leave a Comment Address: Near the Plaza Zorrilla

Among the first builing we walked up to
after putting our luggage in the hotel was
the 'Capilla Maria Reparadora'
The chapel of Maria reparative :
I did my best to translate that.. ;-)
The facade is quit rich and being a chapel
it is quit huge as well.
Her neighbour is the 'museo oriental'.
Both are located with their front towars
a beautifull parc 'campo grande'.
Unfortunately we couldn't get in once. Leave a Comment Address: Paseo De Filipinos
