Navapalos is mentioned in the Cantar de Mio Cid as the place where the Cid Campeador and his men crossed the Duero river. After camping near the town, the poem tells that the archangel Gabriel appeared to the Cid and wished him good luck.

The town has beautiful traditional adobe architecture, as well as an interesting Islamic watchtower.

According to the Cantar, the Cid crossed the Duero through Navapalos. The Song tells that the archangel Gabriel appeared to him here and that he wished him good luck in his undertakings.
Navapalos is a small uninhabited town partially restored with adobe as the main construction element. It has an Islamic watchtower with a circular floor plan built in masonry, connected to others in the area, thus creating an effective surveillance network.

I have had the pleasure of camping in this welcoming town. Of course, it leaves 5% better than you received it.
