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.
