2. Parador de Soria 1st Day, Sunday
Recommendations:
The quality of the wines from this region, which encompasses
four provinces – Soria, Burgos, Segovia and Valladolid – is
joined by its many tourist attractions, as well as the cultural
and artistic wealth of each of its towns. Following a route
from east to west, beginning in the province of Soria,
highlights include San Esteban de Gormaz, through which the
Douro River passes, watering the fertile meadows and lands
along its banks. Nearby is the town of Atauta, famous for
having the best preserved group of traditional wineries on the
entire Ribera del Duero route. No less attractive are those
preserved in Langa de Duero, which has been declared an
area of historic and artistic importance. The hillside on which
Castillejo de Robledo castle stands is populated by presses,
and the incalculable beauty of its parish church is a
wonderful surprise along the route.
Parador de Lerma 2nd Day, Monday
Recommendations:
The De la Vid Monastery marks the beginning of the lands of
the Ribera del Duero region in Burgos. A belfry over 30 meters
in height is the first sight visitors get of the monastery. Before
entering Aranda de Duero, we recommend first visiting the
town of Peñaranda de Duero. This strategic point along the
Douro River welcomes travellers with its proud castle, the
palace of the Zúñiga and Avellaneda families and the
collegiate church. The headquarters of the regulatory
council for the Ribera del Duero denominación de origen is
located in Roa. The vicissitudes of history have caused this
town to lose a great many of its palaces and churches,
evidence of the wealth of an era. However, well worth a visit
are the ex-collegiate church of Santa María and the former
church of San Sebastián.
Parador de Tordesillas 3rd Day, Tuesday
Recommendations:
We are now in the province of Valladolid, and as the river
passes through the town of Peñafiel it becomes broader, its
agricultural boundaries expanding. The town’s vernacular
architecture shows its connection to wine, as does the
enormous castle, today home to the Provincial Wine Museum
(Museo Provincial del Vino). Cotarro de San Pedro, a lovely
hill populated by wineries, indicates that we are approaching
Taller Projectes Oci- NIF A-63405468 GC - 1138
Pesquera de Duero, a town long linked to wine production.
Valbuena de Duero, home to the prestigious Vega Sicilia
winery, among others, and Santa María de Valbuena
Monastery are the highlights of the last stage of the route
through the province of Valladolid. Its lands bathed by the
waters of the Douro, the monastery, permanent
headquarters of the Ages of Man Foundation (Fundación de
las Edades del Hombre), possesses a dazzling beauty. Along this route lies the Riaza River Gorge
natural area, between the town limits of Montejo de la Vega de la Serrezuela, Maderuelo and
Valdevacas de Montejo.
