Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Soria
Soria is discovered in a sober atmosphere, between quiet places, Romanesque churches and walks towards the Duero. The arches of San Juan de Duero, the stones of Santo Domingo and the banks planted with poplars make up a discreet city, more sensitive to slow steps than to the great effects.
Place
Numance
Numance impresses with its monumental calm and its way of organizing space in successive layers. Its reliefs can be seen better when you change your observation point regularly, without running from one monument to another. The morning light conditions highlight the texture of the walls.
Place
Calatañazor
Calatañazor The pedestrian approach highlights the relationship between fortification, neighbourhood and surrounding landscape. The hours of oblique light give a significant depth to the facades. The viewer's view of the building is the same as that of the building.
Place
Laguna Negra de Urbión
The Laguna Negra de Urbión lies in a dark rocky circus, lined with pines and steep walls that are reflected in the water. The site takes a special force in calm weather, when the surface of the lake absorbs the colors of the sky and the trails climb towards the heights of the Sierra de Urbión.
