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.

The Plaza Mayor of Ciudad Rodrigo is the historical and social heart of the city, with a rich history that reflects its importance as an urban center: Since the Middle Ages, the Plaza Mayor has been the hub of public life: markets, proclamations, and council meetings were held there in the cloister of the former Church of San Juan. In the 16th century, public butcher shops were built, and it became a consolidated space for commercial and festive activities. Until then, the square was home to the Three Roman Columns, a vestige of the ancient Miróbriga, which had been a symbol of the city since the 13th century. In 1580, the square was expanded, incorporating the space that once housed the old prison and the Audiencia (Courthouse). It even had corridors for watching bullfights, a tradition that continues during carnivals.

We stopped there for a break during our 2023 Lisbon-Porto-Madrid tour. The historic city with its mighty walls impressed us greatly. Definitely worth a trip. 👌

A small sleepy village near the Portuguese border. From here you can take a great hike to the Puente de los franceses. The walk there is worth it! 🙂

Historical town from the Middle Ages with a city wall is well worth seeing. We spent one night right in the central square of the city. The square offers several opportunities to eat and sit outside. 👍
