Our journey takes us to places where we can revive the glorious past of this area, bound to the birth of the county of Castile. You should not forget to visit the monastery of Oña nor the medieval city of Frias .The little villages of Valdivielso valley and Tobalina. Next to Trespaderne there are some deposits and the river Ebro forms a spectacular landscape all along the trail.

We start in Trespaderne where some discoveries were made in the castle of Tedeja and the necropolis of Peña, it is said that this discovery can change the content of the history books.

The road to Nofuentes brings us along Mijangos,a medieval setting where we can admire the architecture.

In the steep ravine of La Horadada we find the necropolis of Peña and the hermit of Tartalés de Cilla .

The dam of Cereceda is the natural entrance to the Valley of Valdivielso : Sometimes the access to Tartalés de los Montes is cut off because of landslip.Its waterfall is impressing.

Than comes Arroyo a good example of both popular and feudal architecture.

Among the medieval streets of the capital of the Valley called Quecedo we enjoy the harmony of its palaces, popular houses and strongholds. The interesting rural village Puentearenas stands out most of all for its Romanesque jewel San Pedro de Tejeda characterized for its unity of style and its good conservation.

The towers of Quintana are surrounded by the popular houses of the valley.

In Almiñé the old roadway that ascended the high and passed along its Romanesque church is surrounded by solid strongholds.

In the narrow steep streets of Condado the trail through Valle de Valdivielso comes to an end.

Than we pass the gorge of Oca arriving to the county villa of Oña. San Salavador monastery is an obligated point to visit for those who want to regress till the origins of Castilla.

We are some kilometres separated from a spectacular landscape: the waterfall “Molinar” in Tobera. There is also a hermitage, a bridge and a Calvary.

You must stop at the Castle of the Velasco and visit the San Vicente church, a silhouette you can distinguish when you approach the medieval town of Frias . Its narrow streets and magnificent houses will offer you some shadow and rest.

The medieval bridge that stands above the river Ebro dominated once the entrance to one of the most beautiful places of Spain. If the route becomes too long we can leave the rest for another day.

Valderrama is the capital of Partido de la Sierra in Tobalina .

Montejo de San Miguel is a pleasing popular village.

The new hermitage of San Roque, its church and tower in Quintana Martin Galindez (capital of the Valley of Tobalina)are outstanding.

A visit to Herrán will show you a roadway that went parallel to the road of Pirron and communicated the Valle de Tobalina with that of Valderejo in Alava.

In a pine wood next to Quintana Maria we discover several late medieval burial places excavated into the rocks.
