The city enjoys a vibrant cultural life thanks to its status as a university hub, as well as events such as Seminci, the International Film Week—an essential date on the Spanish film calendar—and the International Festival of Theatre and Street Arts.

It preserves an important monumental heritage in its historic center, especially noble houses and religious buildings. Among them, the unfinished Cathedral stands out.

As a city that has experienced significant urban growth in recent decades, Valladolid offers a wide range of leisure and cultural options: cinemas, theaters, and museums, such as the National Museum of Sculpture, housed in the College of San Gregorio. Another event that deeply shapes life in Valladolid and stirs the passion of its residents is Holy Week. Declared of International Tourist Interest, its processions are a true parade of sacred art. The annual tapas and pinchos competition is a fun and creative way to enjoy Valladolid’s gastronomy.
