Valladolid

Location 4: Valladolid

I could never pronounce this city right! Anyway I went to Valladolid on a Sunday..BAD move! Most of the shops were closed.Valladolid is another city that you can cover in a day by walking. There are lots of churches and museums to look at.

The yellow stuff are actually sunflowers..was too slow to take a better pic. -on the way to V by bus-

Beautiful fountain..was nearby the information centre, as well as the park. The park's pretty cool. It's in the middle of the city (at least I think it is!)


La Plaza Mayor


This is the main square. Looks familiar? It looks similar to Madrid's main square. It's because Madrid templated this Main Square! Talk about original hahaha


Santa María de La Antigua

Lots of Church go-ers as it was Sunday Mass. It has a Roman tower on the left.

I sneaked a photo inside. Sorry God!

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

Supposedly that it was in Valladolid that Cervantes stayed and finished his famous book Don Quixote. I tried reading it once - with my limited knowledge of Spanish..didn't work out. I'm going to try it again someday!

The court

I purposely waited for the nun to be in before I took the pic! heheheh she's so cute!

The National Museum of Culture

This was pretty cool. Loved it.

Painting of Jesus' face on the cloth

Death by Gil De Ronza

Some art in the museum.

Another building which I cannot recall what it was..Please let me know if you know what it is!



There are bullrings all around Spain, but I only managed to see the one here. It was closed (thank God).

The Bull Statue outside the Stadium

Poor Bulls

Matador


This is the Christopher Columbus Monument.
