Olmedo is a municipality in the province of Valladolid, Spain. The Mudéjar theme park is located here.[1]
See main article: First Battle of Olmedo and Second Battle of Olmedo.
Historically, there was a Jewish community in Olmedo in the Middle Ages, up until the 1492 expulsion of the Jews.[2]
Olmedo is on the N-601 road (Adanero-Olmedo-Valladolid - Medina de Rioseco - León).
The Madrid–Valladolid high-speed rail line runs through the municipality, and Olmedo is planned to be the branching point for the high-speed line running to Zamora and Galicia.
Olmedo is at one end of a 14.4km test track for high speed trains, and the Talgo gauge changer system. Medina del Campo is at the other end.
