===Tertiary sector=== ====Tourism==== [[File:Exterior Alcazar Segovia.jpg|thumb| [[Segovia]] is one of the main receptors of tourism in the region, [[world heritage]] city as well as [[Salamanca]] and [[Ávila, Spain|Ávila]].]] Some of its tourism highlights include the walls of [[Ávila, Spain|Ávila]], and the cathedrals of [[Burgos]] and [[León, Spain|Leon]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Castilla y Leon |url=https://www.lonelyplanet.com/spain/castilla-y-leon |publisher=[[Lonely Planet]] |access-date=4 April 2021 |archive-date=18 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210718093958/https://www.lonelyplanet.com/spain/castilla-y-leon |url-status=live }}</ref> [[File:Panorámica de Las Médulas.jpg|thumb|left| [[Las Médulas]]. A world heritage site, the landscape is the result of Roman mining techniques in what it was a gold-rich area in Antiquity.]] Castile and León has several cities whose Holy Week is considered to be of International Tourist Interest. Examples are [[Holy Week in León]], [[Holy Week in Salamanca]], [[Holy Week in Valladolid]] or [[Holy Week in Zamora]].<ref>{{cite web |author=BOE |title=Publication in the BOE of the RESOLUTION of 14 March 2003, of the General Secretariat of Tourism, by which the title of "Festival of International Tourist Interest" is granted to Holy Week in Salamanca. |url=http://www.boe.es/aeboe/consultas/bases_datos/doc.php?id=BOE-A-2003-7514|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110514185056/http://www.boe.es/aeboe/consultas/bases_datos/doc.php?id=BOE-A-2003-7514 |url-status=dead|archive-date=14 May 2011}}</ref> The region also has a wide network of [[Paradores]], hotels of great quality that usually accommodate buildings of great historical value in privileged places to stimulate tourism in the area. [[File:Avila_001.jpg|thumb|right|The city of Ávila is one of the places in Castile and León declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.]] Since 1988, the foundation ''[[Las Edades del Hombre]]'' has been organizing various exhibitions of religious art in various parts of the national and international geography, highlighting for its interest the exhibitions held in Castile and León. The idea of carrying out these exhibitions was conceived in a chimney of [[Alcazarén]] with the writer [[José Jiménez Lozano]] and the priest of Valladolid José Velicia. The first "Las Edades del Hombre" were held in the Church of Santiago Apóstol of Alcazarén, with a small exhibition of sacred paintings. Later, and with the support of important personalities, the first known exhibition was held among the public, which was that of Valladolid. In 2012 the initiative was developed under the name of ''Monacatus'' in the town of [[Oña]], being one of the most multitudinous editions with about 200 000 visitors.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2012/11/03/castillayleon/1351963961.html |title='Monacatus' echa el cierre con 200.000 visitas y un gran impacto económico |access-date=31 January 2018 |archive-date=1 February 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180201020237/http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2012/11/03/castillayleon/1351963961.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The last sample so far has taken place in the municipality of [[Arévalo]], in 2013.
