Valdeande is a Spanish municipality in the province of Burgos in the autonomous community of Castile and León.

Valdeande is located on the north part of the shore of the Duero. It is situated 27 kilometers away from Aranda and 90 kilometers from other towns. The locality is closely tied to agriculture and has the Esgueva river as its main watercourse, which flows through the western part of the municipality, creating an extensive fertile valley.

In terms of history, various remains from the Roman period have been recognized as the oldest vestiges in the municipality. This territory was traversed by one of the routes that connected Clunia with the Arlanza river valley, and the villa of Ciella was located along this route. Other findings of crossings and traces also provide evidence of the possible existence of a small Hispano-Visigothic community in Valdeande. Valdeande also played a role in the Reconquista.

The first written document mentioning Valdeande dates back to 1037, in a manuscript by Fernando I of Castile. The village's strategic location made it an important place during historical events.
