Airport & Transfers - Valladolid Airport - six miles north-west of the centre, linked by four shuttle buses a day. Tickets are 3Euros. Taxi's 18Euros. Nightlife - As befitting most provincial university towns with large student populations, Valladolid is packed with bars and clubs of all shapes and sizes. Kick things off down Calle Paraiso and Calle Portu between the cathedral and the university, and then head onto Plazas Cantarranillas, El Cuadro or San Miguel for a wide variety of traditional Spanish bars, Irish pubs, boho bars and trendy clubs. Shopping - The pedestrianised streets around the main square - Plaza Mayor - are the heart of Vallodolid shopping.
