Urueña
At one end of the Torozos Mountains and dominating the Valladolid countryside, is the charming town of Urueña.
Its narrow cobbled streets and emblazoned houses preserve intact all the flavor of the medieval era, in which it enjoyed great importance and was the epicenter of battles between the kingdoms of Leon and Castile. In Urueña, the walled enclosure stands out, of which almost the entire area that surrounded the town in the past is preserved. And at its feet, the hermitage of the Anunciada, ordered to be built in the 12th century by the Infanta Sancha Raimúndez and the only example of Romanesque-Lombard architecture preserved in Castile and León.
Without losing a bit of its heritage authenticity, today it has become a unique cultural and literary center in Spain due to the large concentration of bookstores it houses, which has earned it the title of the country's first Book Village.
