Soria is known for its medieval character, but its landscapes and natural parks will surprise. Unlike conventional cities, it breathes peace and is perfect for relaxing.
Despite its rich heritage, Soria is the second smallest regional capital in Spain. However, that’s exactly what makes it special: it has everything a big city offers, but in a relaxed atmosphere. Spend your holidays in Soria and rediscover history with castles and palaces, such as the Palace of the Condes de Gómara, the Palace of Rios y Salcedo, and Soria Castle, as well as churches and hermitages such as the San Pedro Concathedral and the Hermitage of San Saturio.
Soria is located on the banks of the River Duero, so take a pleasant stroll and breathe in the fresh air. Similarly, check out Monte Valonsadero, just under 5 miles away, where you can go on a trail of the cave paintings or explore the area by bike. What’s more, two major roads converge at Soria, A-11 and A-15, and there is a train line that connects the city to Madrid. If you’re travelling by plane, the best option is to fly into Madrid.
