Soria

Known  as the oldest continent, Europe has always been a preferred holiday destination. Spain, a country in the south of Europe, has a lot of historical places and beautiful old monuments, and there are millions of tourists crossing the borders of this country annually.

Its territory is divided into provinces, each of these provinces having different features and special places to visit.

Beautiful panorama in Soria
Although it is not one of the most convincing provincial capitals in Spain, Soria is famous for the unique garlic soup that you can taste here, which has the consistency of “liquid gold”, as the inhabitants use to say. Above all, it is a region situated in the heart of some of the most beautiful views in this Iberian country.

The province is a transition region between Castilla, Aragon and La Rioja. In the northwest part, the magnificent Sierra de Urbion is located, famous for the richness of the hunting and trout fishing. On the other side, to the east is the extremely damaged Sierra De Moncayo.A lot of monuments may be visited here

Soria is a town where history can be felt at every step. The red tile roofs of the houses of golden sandstone, praised by the poet Antonio Machado, string out on the streets of this town. In the southern part of the geometric park, called Parque Alamed de Cervantes, through squares and pedestrian streets, is located the Plaza Mayor, the focus of the entire town.

In the network of streets, the facades with Renaissance motifs lead you to the Roman church Santo Domingo, where the statues of its founders greet you right at the entrance. There are some other churches in this area, around the Duero River. San Pedro Cathedral is mostly Gothic, but it also has some Roman galleries.

Crossing this river, you will admire the ruins of San Juan de Duero Monastery, considered to have many Moorish influences from the XIIIth century. From this point, the panorama is magnificent: you can see the Parque Del Castillo, a cultivated hill. The Romans rebuilt Numancia in 133 BC, after its Celtic inhabitants had destroyed it, in order to avoid its capture.

The ruins are an attraction for archaeology and history lovers, but in the town, the Museo Numantino, together with Alameda de Cervantes Park, contain a lot of Roman artifacts, which are an attraction for tourists from all over the world. Enjoy your holiday in the Iberian country, Spain.
