Soria is a beautiful city offering a stunning perspective from the Castle hill, at the foot of which a hamlet appears on the right bank of river Duero.

Object of many literary references, framework for legends written by Becquer, sung to by poets Antonio Machado and Gerardo Diego, this town often referred to as "the great unknown" boasts incomparable patrimonial wealth.

Churches, some erected in the best Romanesque style; convents, palaces and large houses in noble streets, an extensive park -la dehesa (the meadow)-, pleasant squares, rest areas and great establishments offering the best food and drink.

The city’s surroundings are also well worth a visit, with incomparable natural locations such as the banks of river Duero and mount Valonsadero.

7 Km. from Soria towards Logroño we come upon Garray, a village that spreads out along the side of the hill accommodating the site of the mythical city of Numancia. Numancia is thought to have been founded in the late 3rd century b.C.

The contemporary ruins are only a part of the town, which present meticulous information on its layout and global organisation.

The most interesting chapter of life in Numancia is unquestionably its participation in the Celtiberian wars and the episode regarding its conquest.
