On January 18 th the Provintial Council decided to close all its resources in order to keep up with the new measures 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 28 th the 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 and the opening in the restrictions 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.
