We stayed for a few days in the city of Valladolid which is located in the autonomous region of Castile and León. This is also in the Riebera del Duero area. The city of 300 thousand is very beautiful with lots to see and do. 

There were lots of statues that appeared to be randomly placed throughout the city.

Many times we would be walking along a street and come across a bronze statue of some kind.

It was easy to see where people sat or touched the statues by the polish on the bronze.

One in particular that we came across was part of a fountain and was a little bit unexpected and surprised us.

As we got closer to this particular statues it was clear that they were naked men. It was not hard to see where the bronze was polished.

There was a beautiful park located in the centre of the city, so we decided to walk through and check it out.

It wasn’t long after we entered the park that we were being followed.

We explored some of the many different churches in Valladolid. They were very ornate and quite beautiful. 

We explored the streets of Valladolid and worked our way to the Plaza Mayor.  

The Pisuerga River flows through the city and has beautiful trails on the shoreline. We walked the trail for a while exploring this area of the city.

The city of Valladolid was a great experience and we enjoyed our time very much. I can see us returning in the future to explore more of this city.
