Tordesillas

Located on the Douro River at 704 meters elevation, Tordesillas connects to Madrid and Salamanca through major highway networks in central Spain.

The Treaty of Tordesillas, signed in 1494, established the division of newly discovered territories between Spain and Portugal during the Age of Discovery.

The Convent of Santa Clara, originally constructed as a palace by Alfonso XI, contains architectural elements from multiple periods and housed Queen Joanna of Castile.

The town offers various accommodation options, including a Parador hotel, and serves as a transit point between major Spanish cities with regular bus connections.

The Plaza Mayor features 17th-century colonnades and represents the central gathering point for local events and traditional celebrations throughout the year.
