ハイキングコースに最適な素晴らしいエリア

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.

Fresneda de la Sierra Tirón is a small town in Burgos, located in the heart of the Sierra de la Demanda, very close to La Rioja. It is an attractive destination for hikers due to its mountainous surroundings and the proximity of places like Pozo Negro, a turquoise glacial lagoon in the shadow of Otero Peak. The town preserves historical remains and traditions, with the Church of the Assumption and hermitages as points of interest. From here, trails depart to peaks such as Otero, Cabeza Aguílez, and Torocuervo, ideal for enjoying panoramic views and beech and oak forests.

The pilgrimage route repeatedly involves crossing valleys and rivers like the Rio Oja – as here at Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The bridges are sometimes relatively modern, sometimes medieval, and sometimes even older.

It crosses the Oja River, connecting different parts of the city. Built in the 12th century by Saint Dominic de la Calzada to facilitate the passage of pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. The stone bridge features several arches, a fine example of medieval engineering.

The Cathedral of Santo Domingo de la Calzada, also known as the Cathedral of El Salvador, is an impressive monument located in the town of Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The cathedral was built between the 12th and 13th centuries, combining Romanesque and Gothic styles. A unique feature is its free-standing tower, separated from the main body of the cathedral.

There are many routes, both easy and difficult, to choose from. The Sierra is very beautiful, especially in autumn.

Romanesque church dating back to the 12th century on the outskirts of Valgañón, a town in the Sierra de la Demanda near Ezcaray. A great stop to get water on the way up to the top of Pradilla.
