Medina de Rioseco boasts probably more cultural heritage per square metre than any other town on the Madrid Way of the Pilgrims’ Route to Santiago. Castilla Canal, the Holy Week celebrations, declared to be of International Tourist Interest and its delicious pastries and desserts are just a few of the town’s numerous tourism resources that should not be missed by pilgrims or visitors.
