Hotels in Castile and Leon, Spain

Castile and Leon sits in northwestern Spain, with a climate of scorching summers up to 95°F (35°C) and chilly winters dropping to 30°F (-1°C). This region is famous for its medieval castles, Gothic cathedrals, and the historic universities of Salamanca and Valladolid. In spring and fall, you can wander Segovia's Roman aqueduct or walk the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela through Burgos without the crowds; in summer, hit the wine cellars of Ribera del Duero for a cool tasting, and in winter, explore the snow-dusted walls of Ávila's fortified old town. Each city has a different vibe: Salamanca buzzes with student life and sandstone plazas, while León offers a quieter mix of Romanesque churches and tapas bars.
