Discover the charm of this beautiful town in Castile-Leon as you contemplate the architectural beauty and treat your taste buds with the wonderful cuisine on the banks of the River Duero.

If you have a passion for art and history, you’ll be sure to have a wonderful time on holiday in Tordesillas, as if this town can be proud of one thing, it’s the art you’ll find along its streets and its buildings. Start your visit with a trip to the Casas del Tratado, two connected palaces that once hosted the signing of the Treaty of Tordesillas, by which the kingdom of Castile and Portugal split the lands of the New World. Here you’ll also find the museum of the Treaty of Tordesillas, perfect for exploring maps and historical documents. You should make sure to discover the church-museum of San Antolín, a Site of Cultural Interest, located next to the treaty houses. Dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, its viewpoints offer one of the best views over Tordesillas and the Vega del Duero.

Take advantage ofpackage holidays to Tordesillas to explore its most representative building, one of the best examples of Mudéjar architecture in Castile-Leon: the Royal Monastery of Santa Clara. Commissioned by Alfonso XI as a palace in the 14th century and later converted into a monastery, today it preserves a blend of interesting styles. You can also explore the Arab baths, which are closely related to other Islamic examples in the Andalusia and Levante regions. Head on to Plaza Mayor de Tordesillas and you’ll feel as if you’ve travelled back to medieval times as you stroll down the quaint streets, where you’ll find houses and palaces that attest to the town’s courtly splendour.

Just make sure you don't forget to take a break and taste the exquisite local cuisine, in particular, the typical Tordesillas rooster. Remember that in November there is a long weekend when the city holds a tapas competition, with bars competing to satisfy every palate. What are you waiting for to organise your trip? What’s more, the town has excellent transport links with the rest of the Spanish mainland, meaning it couldn’t be easier to book your cheap trip to Tordesillas.
