Atapuerca

Built around a historic route through the Sierra de Atapuerca, Atapuerca grew into a small Castilian village on the Camino de Santiago. It is closely associated with the nearby Atapuerca Archaeological Site, a UNESCO World Heritage property since 2000. Excavations in limestone caves and deposits such as Gran Dolina and Sima de los Huesos have yielded major evidence of early human occupation in Europe. The low karst hills of the Sierra de Atapuerca give this agricultural part of Castile and León an exceptional scientific significance.
