On 18th January the Provintial Council decided to close all its resources in order to keep up with the measurements implemented by the Junta de Castilla y León. The goal was to face the health crisis and guarantee the safety of all citizens. On February 28th, Junta de Castilla y León lowered the level of extreme risk defined by the Ministry of Health, which was already below 150 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. It is because of this drop that the Provincial Institution reopens its tourist resources to visitors from the autonomous community, under prior reservation and with strict security protocols. + INFO (rest of tourist resources) by clicking here.
