6. Breve visión de Valladolid
• Valladolid, la ciudad del río Pisuerga, conserva en su casco antiguo un interesante conjunto renacentista
compuesto por casas, palacios, iglesias y uno de sus edificios más emblemáticos, su Catedral.
• La capital castellano-leonesa goza de una intensa vida cultural gracias a su condición de sede universitaria, así
como a eventos tales como la Seminci, la Semana Internacional de Cine, cita imprescindible del calendario
cinematográfico español.
• Otro evento que marca la vida de Valladolid y despierta el fervor de sus habitantes es la Semana Santa.
Declarada de Interés Turístico Internacional, sus procesiones suponen un auténtico desfile de obras de arte
sacro.
• Valladolid comenzó a cobrar protagonismo a partir del s. XI, cuando el conde Ansúrez pasó a gobernar la villa
en nombre de Alfonso VI. Su máximo apogeo lo alcanzaría durante el reinado de los Reyes Católicos (s. XV),
época en que la universidad vallisoletana se convirtió en una de las más importantes del país. Pero, además de
protagonizar episodios clave de la historia de España, Valladolid ha sido su capital en dos ocasiones, la primera
con Carlos I (s. XVI) y posteriormente con la llegada al trono de Felipe III (s. XVII).
• En la gastronomía vallisoletana tienen fama los asados de cordero y cochinillo. También son característicos la
sopa castellana (elaborada con pan, ajo y jamón), el bacalao al ajoarriero y los platos de caza. Para acompañar
a estas recetas, nada mejor que los vinos con Denominación de Origen que se dan en la provincia: Ribera del
Duero, Cigales, Rueda y Toro.

12. One Logger’s personal account
• I can truly say that my five weeks in
Spain have been the best time of my
life. It is posible that I have had as
much fun before or taken interesting
classes before as well, but never
before had I enjoyed such a
sustained period of fun and learning.
Once our teacher played a song for
us, “Wedding Nights” in which the
singer wishes that all his nights were
as beautiful as a wedding night. I
think that my trip was exactly like
that wish. I was never bored. Nearly
every day and night was fun and
exciting and I was always learning
more about culture, language, and
the place itself. I am sure that I will
return in the future.
