Soria

Among the cities of Castile and León, Soria stands out for its high plateau setting above the River Duero and its close ties to Spanish literature. The old centre rises on a hill beside the river, while the riverside walk leads to the hermitage of San Saturio, a local emblem built into the rock. Soria’s Romanesque legacy is especially visible at the monastery of San Juan de Duero, whose surviving cloister combines several medieval arch forms. Antonio Machado taught French here from 1907 to 1912; the city and its Duero landscape helped inspire his poetry, notably Campos de Castilla.
