Miranda del Castañar, one of the most beautiful villages in Spain, is located in the Sierra de Francia (Salamanca): Founded in 1213 by Alfonso IX of León as a town and council, it was the administrative capital of the Sierra de Francia. In the 15th century, the County of Miranda was created under the control of the Zúñiga family, consolidating its strategic importance.

The Soto Bridge, also known as the Roman Bridge of Sotoserrano, is a historic stone structure that spans the Alagón River in the Las Batuecas-Sierra de Francia Natural Park. It is located in the town of Sotoserrano, famous for being at the confluence of three rivers: the Alagón, the Francia, and the Cuerpo de Hombre. The bridge is one of the town's symbols and a key point on several hiking and cycling routes.

Beautiful quiet roads through the hills.

The climb up this narrow valley is a delight, especially on days when there is not much traffic. The views, the sounds of nature, the vegetation, the aromas of rockroses and other wild flowers allow us to almost forget that we are going uphill for a good part of the journey :-D

From this place you can see San Esteban de la Sierra and the landscapes of the Quilamas Natural Area around it. The road in perfect condition.

With the historic center of the town declared a historical-artistic complex, the castle of the Zúñiga or of the counts of Miranda del Castañar, is one of the best preserved in the province, Miranda de Castañar belongs to the list of towns chosen by the Association «The Most Beautiful Villages in Spain».
