Day 15 of your road trip in Spain is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Valladolid before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.
If you're up for some more sightseeing, begin at La Rosaleda. This locally appreciated park is a popular place to see in the city.
Explore local shops for souvenirs to remember your trip or find unique gifts for loved ones.
Before you conclude your road trip in Spain, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Valladolid.
Treat yourself to a delicious dinner at El Corcho, an excellent option for tonight's dining. Looking for something different? La Pícara offers a tantalizing alternative with its diverse menu. And don’t miss La Parrilla De San Lorenzo.
You’ll then say farewell to Valladolid. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Spain!
