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.

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.
