Valladolid - Eating
Valladolid is famous for its suckling lamb, as well as more general Castilian specialities such as suckling pig, game and rabbit, which is often served in rich, succulent stews. But anyone needing a break from this hearty fare will find plenty to please them in Valladolid. The city has experienced a boom in tapas bars in recent years, and there are plenty of international eateries serving everything from pizzas to pancakes. The streets around the Plaza Mayor are teeming with good restaurants and tapas bars.
