Although Valladolid is not located at the coastline, it has a real white sandy beach. It is located at the river Pisuerga. I suppose in summer this must be a very nice place to go to. In Antwerp were I live whe have something simular, but than at the river Schelde. Sint Annabeach

The Duque de Lerma was finished in 2002. After years of inactivity the construction began again in 1998. The original idea was to built a hotel. Now it is partly an office building. It has 24 floors and 21 of them are appartments. It has a height of 88 meters.

This museum opened in 2003. The building is very modern and a symbol of the Valladolid of today. Although the building was very special, I found the museum itself rather dissapointing. I shouldn't recommend to visit it, just go and have a look at the building.

The Plaza Mayor is the heart of the old city center. Its a very beautiful big square. The buildings are all renovated and they house several shops, restaurants and cafes. In wintertime you can even go iceskating at the Plaza Mayor.

This church is also the museum of easter. It was built at the end of the XVI century during the time of greater economic and social splendor of the city. It was built according to the plans of Felipe of the Cajiga. Nowadays the rich histórico artistico patrimony of the riosecana Easter can be seen here.

This is a really nice parc. Campo Grande means great field. It has lots of statues. You can see also a variety of animals in the park like paecocks, squirrels etc. On sunday afternoon its a real attraction. You can go with a boat on the pond or just having a drink or having a nice walk.

Museum of the Armored cavalry school. Since 1852 the armed cavalry school is located here. In 1915 the building was destroyed by fire. It was rebuilt in 1921. The building style was inspired by the Palace de Monterrey

This is a great park, with peacocks and huge geese prancing around. People feed them, and theyre quite friendly. Its really easy to get to, too. Just go straight out of the train station, and you'll see it soon on your left.

This is the Central Square in Valladolid (a few minutes walk from the Campo Grande). It has recently been renovated and repainted and looks much more impressive. It is almost pedestrianised these days, and is a common place for people to congregate in Valladolid.

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.
