Castile and León

Spain's largest autonomous community, dense with historic cities and cathedrals, where Salamanca, Burgos and León each have their own character.

Castile and León lies on the northern plateau of northwestern Spain and is the country's largest autonomous community, with many castles and historic cities. Salamanca's old town and ancient university, the Gothic cathedrals of Burgos and León, Segovia's Roman aqueduct and the walls of Ávila are all World Heritage–level sights, and the Camino de Santiago also crosses the region. Roast suckling pig, roast lamb and wines from the Ribera del Duero are local specialties. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit, and winters are cold. The main cities are easy to reach from Madrid by high-speed train or regular train.
