The Plaza Mayor and restos of Tordesillas !!!

Posted in Europe, Food and Wine, Spain

We are back to my dear Spain again !! love it !! We came by car of course and took time to see new areas and old repeat with some of them as introduction to my sons and our dog Rex ! I came into Tordesillas after several years and it was sublime ! I like to continue my road warrior stories this time in Tordesillas, Therefore, here is my take on the Plaza Mayor and restos of Tordesillas !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The town of Tordesillas is located in the province of Valladolid and the autonomous community of Castilla y Léon in the kingdom of Spain, It is 33 km from Valladolid City , 11 km from our rental house in Velliza, and 183 km from Madrid, We walked all over the small town, and saw wonderful monuments. I like to keep them in my blog for the memories of always and return, eventually.

The Plaza Mayor,in its current structure dates from the 17C. It is a perfect square accessed by four streets. All is porticated and the two -story houses have stores on first level. The facades have large windows and balconies, especially designed to witness from them the holidays and shows. It is a typical Castilian square in which the City Council (City hall) is located.

The Plaza Mayor, which thus becomes the zero kilometer of this town. With a structure that remembers that of the Roman military fields (Castrum), all of it surrounded by two -story and supportal houses in its street level, it has a large number of windows and balconies that appear to its facades. These viewpoints are perfectly designed places to witness all kinds of public activities that are held here, such as medieval games, markets, concerts, comedies, bullfighting celebrations and all kinds of social meetings. The medieval market and the procession of the Painful moment during Holy Week is held here. This moment remember the moment in which Maria meets her resurrected Son.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.

  2. I once drove through it but didn’t stop. Must have been in a rush. It seems that the most famous thing about Tordesillas is that there was a meeting here between Spain and Portugal in 1494 and a Treaty was signed which gave Brazil to Portugal and all the rest to Spain.
