リオカバドデラシエラのおすすめライド

A recommended area for walking.

The Church of San Martín in Huerta de Arriba combines a Romanesque apse with a neoclassical nave built in 1729. Inside, the main altarpiece stands out, in a neoclassical style with Baroque influences. It is a good example of how different architectural styles coexist in a single rural church.

Barbadillo de Herreros is a small town in the Sierra de la Demanda, surrounded by mountains, forests, and rivers, making it an ideal spot for hiking enthusiasts. Its history is marked by iron mining and the old ironworks, the memory of which is preserved in the Ironworks Museum. The town sits on the banks of the Pedroso River, at over 1,100 meters above sea level, offering a fresh, natural setting perfect for mountain hikes. From here, you can climb to peaks such as San Millán Peak, the highest peak in Burgos at 2,132 meters. It is a peaceful place, with barely a hundred inhabitants, where traditional festivals such as that of the Virgen de Costana are still celebrated.

The Church of the Assumption of Our Lady in Villagalijo is a Gothic church located south of the town center, in the heart of the Sierra de la Demanda. The building stands out for its medieval sobriety and its location in a mountainous setting, where small villages retain a distinctly rural character. It is a good point of interest for those visiting this border area between Burgos and La Rioja, combining historical heritage with the opportunity to follow hiking trails through the nearby mountains, such as the Dos Aguas GR-290 trail.

A beautiful town in the Sierra de la Demanda.

Nice area for outdoor activities.

There is always the solution to difficult points: doing them by road.

The railway crossed this port through a tunnel. When making the greenway, the original route was not recovered, so the arrival and departure of the port are two very steep slopes. Most panniers make them by pushing the bike.
