Top Castile and León Fun & Games

A Roman aqueduct crashes straight into the middle of town, a castle looks suspiciously like Disney's, and a house is covered in 617 stone spikes — Segovia is anything but subtle. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Segovia on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Cross the Plaza Mayor in the shadow of the last great Gothic cathedral built in Spain • Reach the Alcázar de Segovia, the ship-prowed castle said to have inspired Disney • Count the diamond spikes of the Casa de los Picos on your way through the old town Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app. Around 2 hours - any group size.

Valladolid becomes the crime scene in this self-guided detective game, where the clues are hidden in plain sight in the streets around you. The case is the murder of Balthasar, and the evidence is scattered across the old centre - past Casa de Cervantes, Museo de Valladolid, Palacio de Santa Cruz and Teatro Calderón. You decode messages, photograph what does not add up and press digital witnesses whose stories never quite line up. Every puzzle you crack removes a name from the list of suspects. Play as a couple, bring the children along, or send two or three teams out at the same time and turn the investigation into a race - which is what makes this murder mystery game work as well for a team outing as for a day out. The last answer is waiting somewhere in the centre of Valladolid.
