SORIA

Castilla y Leon´s smallest provincial capital goes along the Duero River. It´s an expensive city, it´s clean and it´s peaceful and very quiet. We must say that the weather is very cold, in the winter and warm in the summer, but don´t forget that in the summer night you must wear a sweater because avery evening it is cold.

Soria´s modern parador is named after the poet Antonio Machado, who wrote in favour of the town and surrounding plains. If you walk to the bank all along the Duero River, you´ll see a path with poplars, there Antonio Machado wrote his poems about Soria and love, who was her lovly wife Leonor. At the end of the path there is an old monastery named San Saturio.

If there´s one thing I really like about Soria is that there is a very colourful environment. North of Soria, there you can visit the ruins of Numantia. To the northwest you can see Sierra of Urbion, with pines and a lake, called Laguna Negra. Antonio Machado inspired one of his legends in that place. In Soria pace of life is abundant, but people are a bit distant but very kind.
