CASTILLA Y LEÓNProvinces: Ávila, Burgos, León, Palencia,Salamanca,Segovia, Soria, Valladolid and Zamora

Castilla y Leon is not only the largest region of Spain, but as well the largest region of all the European Union. The elevated plain is limited by the the mountain ranges Sistema Iberico to the east, Cordillera Central to the south, Cordillera Cantabrica to the north and by Duero river towards Portugal.

Castilla y Leon came together in 1983, when the regions of Castilla la Vieja and León were united. Both have been central areas of Spanish medieval history, and the importance during that epoch is still evident in many cathedrals, monasteries, castles and fortificated towns, many of which are preserved in perfect state.
