緑道または道路を通る美しい登り

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.

The Mining Railway Trail is part of the Sierra de la Demanda Greenway and follows the old railway line that linked the iron mines with Burgos. The history of the old Sierra de la Demanda mining railway is closely linked to the iron exploitation in this area. Built by the English company The Sierra Company Limited, it began operating in 1901 to transport ore to Burgos and from there to the Basque steelworks, although it never became profitable and closed in 1910. Its tracks were dismantled in 1947, leaving the route unused for decades. At the beginning of the 21st century, the route was reborn as a greenway, part of the Natural Trail Network, and since 2004, it has been an ideal path for hikers and cyclists.

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.

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

A beautiful area. Ideal for cycling
