Hotels in Castile and Leon, Spain

Castile and Leon sprawls across north-central Spain, famous for its medieval castles, Gothic cathedrals, and the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. The climate is continental: expect cold winters (down to 30°F/-1°C) perfect for exploring walled cities like Ávila without crowds, and hot summers (up to 90°F/32°C) when you can hike the Picos de Europa mountains or sip robust reds at Ribera del Duero vineyards. In the north, the lush Cantabrian mountains offer summer kayaking on the Sella River, while the southern plains around Salamanca light up with outdoor concerts and student parties in June and July.
