Located in a privileged setting between the provinces of Burgos, Soria and La Rioja, this corner of northern Spain is steadily establishing itself as an ideal destination for lovers of nature, history and cinema. Thanks to its strategic location, numerous excursions can be enjoyed within a radius of less than one hour by car.

Moreover, this area also hides cinematic surprises that attract thousands of visitors every year: the famous Sad Hill Cemetery, a filming location for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, or the Castroviejo Canyon, where scenes from the classic Zorro were shot.
