The Plaza del Coso in Peñafiel is a fascinating place with a rich history. This medieval square, declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1999, is known for its rectangular shape and its 48 two- and three-storey buildings built from adobe, stone and wood. The wooden balconies decorated with motifs such as leaves, flowers and fruits are a distinctive feature.

Peñafiel is a charming destination in the province of Valladolid, ideal for a cultural and wine-related visit. It is perfect for enjoying history, culture and good wine.

Built in the 14th century, the fortification was part of the defensive line of the Esgueva and had the objective of protecting the entrance to the valley. It has gone through different owners throughout its history, including the Marqués de Lorca. In the 1970s, it was used as a grain store, but it is currently restored and empty inside, under the ownership of the Encinas Town Hall.

Built on the Esgueva River, this reservoir is used mainly for irrigation and supplying the towns of the region. The reservoir offers a beautiful panoramic view and is a popular place for outdoor activities.

Peñafiel is an important town in the Duero Valley. Peñafiel Castle is the outstanding monument in the area, strategically located on a hill that offers panoramic views of three valleys. Built in several stages from the 9th century, it is considered one of the most impressive castles in Spain. With a 34-meter-high keep, the castle houses the Provincial Wine Museum, a renowned wine tourism attraction in the province of Valladolid.

The church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, built in the 12th century in the late Romanesque style, has undergone various extensions and modifications over the years. Of particular note are the 16th century Mudejar bell tower, which replaced the original Romanesque belfry, and the semicircular vault over the main altar, added in 1750. Although the main portal dates from 1613, the other two original 12th century portals have been preserved.
