Later in the evening, enjoy our fabulous welcome dinner.
Today we spend the ENTIRE day visiting some of the most representative castles of the history of the region. Your tour will be guided by a local expert and your transport will be by private coach. We will stop and have lunch as a group. Return in time for late dinner on your own (note, in Spain dinner is 9pm and after!)
Visit TWO small, authentic, family owned vineyards and wineries with tastings and enjoy a lovely lunch at one. The tour will be lead by a local wine expert guide. Transport by private coach. Return to Valladolid with the evening free to explore (dinner on your own).

Make the most of your day exploring - visit any of the amazing art museums, the Palacio Real, or whatever else your heart desires. This city has just about everything and all within walking distance of where we will be staying. There are no planned activities for today.
