Thank you very much to the staff of the tourist office for taking the trouble to make sure that we understood the information provided as we are not native Spanish speakers. We will tell our friends and family what a great guided tour we had - great value for money and very informative.

The National Museum of Sculpture is one of the most important European museums on this discipline because of the quality of its collection, ranging from the Middle Ages to the Baroque, with a predominance of polychrome wood works: Alonso Berruguete, Juan de Juni, Gregorio Fernández, Mena, Martínez Montañés, Alonso Cano, etc. The 19th century, is represented by the plaster cast collection coming from the old National Museum of Artistic Reproductions. The historic value of the four buildings which make up the museum along the street reinforces the worthy character of the visit. The main building, Saint Gregory´s College, is one of the most singular examples of the architecture in the 15th century, next to the Palace of the Marquis de Villena, the House of the Sun and the church of St. Benedict the Elder.

The Museo Nacional de Escultura is probably the best sculpture museum in Spain. There are three buildings that one can see. One of them has a very collection of belen Napolitanos, with 183 figures. I also enjoyed the copies of Roman and Greek statues in one of the buildings.

A tour of the subterranean wine vaults plus a tasting of 8 wines, all for €4.00 per person! Incredible value. But I bet that you can't leave without buying a few bottles? We bought three! Be warned that like a lot of Spanish businesses, it is closed in the afternoons.

The main church of Valladolid is situatad at the important square of the city. Church is the excellent example of plateresque style. This style means using silver in the design of facade and eclectic mix from many styles as Mudejar and Gothic for instance. This church has long history. Here is Phillip II and Phillip V were baptized. Napoleon has visited this church during his spanish campaign.

This museum houses and displays well an extensive display of Spanish devotional sculpture from the 13th through 20th centuries. It is very well laid out with adequate descriptions. Besides what one expect, there was an interesting section on processional sculptures, scenes such as the crucifixion, designed to be carried in religious precessions. The museum has managed to meld contemporary walls and flooring while retaining wonderfully coffered ceilings in many of the rooms of the old building without sacrificing the focus on the objects. The double arcaded cloister is magnificent as is the portal. This is an important stop for anyone interested in the art of the medieval and Renaissance periods.

The Military Cavalry Academy is located at Paseo de Zorrilla, 2. The Academia Militar de Caballeria was started in 1852 in the city, but burned down in 1915. The new building was started soon after that event and its model was the Palace of Monterrey of Salamanca, with a Renaissance design. The designer was Adolfo Pierrad. The building is extremely beautiful and impressive, and is across the street from the Plaza de Zorrila. The building used local stone for its façade. There are two towers that are topped with pyramidal shapes. The inside of the building contains plenty of art. There is a large painting called “La Carga de Trevino” by Victor Morelli.

The convent of Santa Clara is a great visit for history and architecture buffs giving a walk through time over several hundred years of residents, rulers and styles. If you are visiting Andalusia, the convent is architecturally and historically linked with both the Alcazar of Seville and the Alhambra and other Mudejar sites. Tordesillas is about a 2-hour bus from Madrid and is a worthwhile visit, but food options are limited, so plan ahead.
