Rural tourism, sports and nature

Print E-mail comparte este contenido

Castilla y León is the leading region in Spain in rural and adventure tourism. The large number of charming small towns located in the most varied of settings is due in large part to the fact that the economic history of Castilla y León over the past century was more focussed on agricultural than industrial development. This has left us with a rural setting which maintains its popular traditions and the tranquillity of farm life, together with a very well conserved natural heritage.

In addition to the austere landscape of the Castilian plains and the infinite landscapes of the cereal plateau, Castilla y León offers lively rivers and fertile valleys for practicing the most enjoyable and intrepid adventure sports, in addition to unbeatable mountain areas with streams, forests and ravines which allow the visitor to follow a variety of hiking, horse riding, mountain biking and even rafting routes.

The extensive network of rural accommodation which exists in Castilla y León not only offers a taste of the quiet country or mountain village life, but also great samples of popular gastronomy and leisure, sports and adventure opportunities for all tastes.
