Reviewed By 419chusg - Madrid, Spain

Beautiful little chapel on top of a rock cliff; different and worthy the walk from the city. Visit is free on Sunday morning with no time limit to finish the visit.

Parque-Alameda de Cervantes

Reviewed By Turista-Inglesa - Estepona, Spain

A glorious town park. You can easily while away the hours strolling, admiring, sitting reading or chatting, or just people watching. It is a quite amazing park to find right in the centre of a town, partly of course for its size, and also because of its three very different parts. The first part, when you walk through the entrance archways, is a section with shady pathways and some very attractive trees. There is also a little chapel, usually with a stork’s nest on its roof. The second part is a large green open space. Now if you’ve ever been to parks in Spain, you’ll know that this is not at all usual. But there are woods surrounding a large grassy field, the delight of children to run around. The third section is the Rose Garden, again very large, and set out in mathematical precision. This park is one of the oldest in Spain, dating from the 12th century when a large “dehesa” or pastureland was given to the Collegiate Church of San Pedro (subsequently becoming the Concatedral of the town). The green field in the park was in fact used for grazing still until fairly recently, and the popular name, the name the locals all call this park, is still “La Dehesa”. So why is it the “Alameda de Cervantes”? Officially, it is named after the famous writer Miguel de Cervantes, author of the most famous novel in world literature, commonly just called “The Quixote”. But Cervantes was not born here, never lived here, Don Quixote never rode on his trusty steed Rocinante through the streets of Soria, so why this public acclaim? As well as the Quixote, Cervantes wrote a play called “El cerco de Numancia”, about the siege, in the year 135 BC, of the town of Numantia. And Numantia is nowadays Soria, so the town has taken over, expropriated even, Cervantes on the basis of this play, as its very own author. That’s why this beautiful central park is named after him.

Plaza Mayor de Soria

Reviewed By Turista-Inglesa - Estepona, Spain

This is a handsome town square. In typical Castilian fashion, many of the buildings around have colonnades or arcades, providing shelter from the fierce summer sun and the cold rains of winter. This provides a very handsome appearance. But above all the Town Council has had the good sense not to turn it into a large car park, (Chinchón could learn from this, with cars parked 2 metres from the restaurant tables in its Plaza Mayor) and indeed here in Soria the Plaza is totally traffic-free except for children on scooters or bikes. So we have a large open space with interesting buildings around, the most imposing being administrative offices - the Town Hall the biggest and best, the Theatre and former law court a close second. It's a space where people feel comfortable to walk around with friends, to stroll, to chat, to drink take-away coffee, to sit and read their newspaper. In short, a space which is both handsome, useful and well used. One part has what look like plane trees; a bit tricky to be sure since they had been severely pruned to ensure thick fresh shade-giving growth in Spring, with nary a leaf to confirm my guess. And roughly in the centre is what at first glance seems a copy of Cleopatra's needle, but closer inspection proves to be a fountain with lions. Called, aptly enough, La Fuente de los Leones. A gentle and very pleasant 20 minute stroll from the Parador down a pretty footpath through the wooded park and then along some interesting streets, it's a good place to come for a coffee or even lunch. But first time here, it's the start of getting to know Soria town.
