A fun trip for kids
The city offers unique tourist attractions, but when you have children with you it’s difficult to find the right tour, so we recommend a trip to la Plaza Mayor (The Main Plaza), one of the biggest plazas in Spain, which is next to the city hall and offers weekly events such as concerts, fairs, competitions, or Ferrari exhibitions. Together with your children, enjoy el Campo Grande (The Big Field), the biggest park in Valladolid, with its trees, flowers, animals, waterfall, games, and even a pond where you can go on a boat ride, or visit the many museums (museos) in the vicinity.
The Church of Saint Mary of La Antigua (Iglesia de Santa María de La Antigua)

The most important streets in the historic district are Mambrilla, Francos, Platerías (Silversmiths), Plaza Ochavo, and el Canal de Castilla.
