    Tips

    Covarrubias is known as "The cradle of Castile" because, in the 10th century, Fernán González, count of Castile, and his son made it the capital of the Infantazgo de Covarrubias, making it one of the most important monastic manors. .

    It is part of the network of the most beautiful towns in Spain and has been a national historical-artistic complex since 1965.

      At this point, next to the Arlanza river bridge, there is a place called Km 0, because all the signposted trails of Covarrubias start from here. We recommend visiting the El Puente bar, where they eat well.

        Las Peñas del Tuero is a simple and beautiful hiking route that runs along part of the Gr 82, and passes through the pretty town of Retuerta. In this town it is worth observing the urban architecture.

          Covarrubias belongs to the group of "Los pueblos mas Bonitos de España", the most beautiful villages in Spain. Certainly rightly so, although we like many other villages better.
