Imagine a journey where every step transports you to the purest essence of Spain's history and culture. This fascinating tour of the Great Route of Magical Cities and Villas of the Old Kingdoms immerses you in dreamlike landscapes, charming villages and monuments that hold centuries of legends. During this trip, you will discover some of the most beautiful and emblematic corners of the Spanish geography, from imposing medieval castles to small villages full of authenticity.
The journey begins in the heart of Castile, in Arevalo, a medieval gem that offers a mix of popular Castilian architecture and rich history. Its arcaded squares, Romanesque churches and the majestic Arévalo Castle, with its characteristic Mudejar style, invite you to travel back in time. Walks along its river paths, in the middle of nature, allow you to enjoy the peace of the rivers that wind between history and natural beauty.
As you advance, you reach Turégano, dominated by its spectacular castle perched above the church of San Miguel, a symbol of the perfect fusion between fortification and spirituality. Turégano envelops you in its atmosphere of tranquility as you walk through its cobbled streets, with your eyes always on the imposing towers that have watched over you since the past.
The route continues towards Peñaranda de Duero, where time seems to have stopped between its walls, castles and squares that evoke the splendour of the Renaissance. Here, you will discover palaces and fortifications that were the scenes of stories of counts and warriors, in an environment where architecture and nature merge seamlessly. In addition, the underground wineries that cross the city add a touch of mystery and winemaking tradition that will bring you closer to the oldest flavors of the region.
From Peñaranda, the journey continues to Peñafiel, where vineyards wrap around hills and ancient winemaking customs come to life. The city, crowned by its imposing castle, is home to the Wine Museum, a place where history and tradition are savoured in every glass. Here, you'll enjoy postcard-worthy views, with the Douro Valley stretching out before you as you sip the best local wines.
The magic of the ancient kingdoms is still present in every town you visit. In Castronuño, nature becomes the protagonist, with its impressive Riberas del Duero Nature Reserve. Between poplars and water birds, this protected area invites you to immerse yourself in its serenity, while its underground cellars tell centuries-old stories.
Further on, Tiedra offers you a contrast with its lavender plantations and its old castle. Here, you will not only learn about medieval history, but also the tradition of beekeeping and lavender cultivation, which fills the air with fresh and relaxing fragrances. The Tiedra Astronomical Centre will take you even further, this time to the sky, where the stars and planets become the protagonists of a magical experience.
In Becerril de Campos, culture and knowledge are combined with astronomy in San Pedro Cultural, a unique space where the old Romanesque church has been transformed into a centre dedicated to the stars. A walk through its streets is a journey through the universe, in a unique experience that mixes art, science and spirituality.
The journey continues through Frómista and its emblematic church of San Martín de Tours, a symbol of Castilian Romanesque, before arriving in Sahagún, where medieval spirituality comes to life in its churches and monasteries full of stories of the Camino de Santiago.
Finally, the route takes you Cangas to de Onís.
This trip is much more than a sightseeing tour; it is a deep and immersive experience, where each place tells a story, each typical dish connects you with the land, and each monument transports you to past times. The Great Route of Magical Cities and Villas of the Old Kingdoms invites you to explore, discover and be amazed, letting each town and each step surprise you with its cultural richness and natural beauty. It is a trip that will undoubtedly be engraved in your memory as a unique adventure, a journey through the soul of Spain.
