Soria, Romanesque daughter of the Duero

I propose a weekend based in Soria. On the first day we will inaugurate a new section of the old Santander-Mediterranean railway line. Caminos Naturales has recovered a new section from the border with Aragon to almost the city of Soria itself. From the beautiful town of Ciria, with its castle perched on the mountain, located in the heart of the Iberian System, in the steep valley of the Manubles river, our route crosses the Campos de Gómara, watched over by the Moncayo on the horizon.

On the second day, a circular route starting and finishing at our hotel will take us through Monte Valonsadero to the great Duero River with an obligatory stop at Cerro de la Muela, in Garray, to visit Numancia, the mythical Celtiberian town that faced the siege of the Roman legions commanded by Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus the Younger African. After the visit, the Duero will give us one last gift: the Monastery of San Juan de Duero, shortly before entering the city again.

Accommodations

Our accommodation is in the center of Soria, the Hotel Alfonso VIII, a comfortable and well-located 4* hotel. We have also booked our rooms to take a shower and change on Sunday before starting our return trip.
