An Argentona
July 24, 2025, Castillo de los Pimentel

Although only part of the tower remains today, its presence is imposing: it was once a stately home and today serves as the perfect viewpoint over the Óbigo Valley. A bike ride up here is both visually and culturally rewarding. A great spot for epic photos, a restful break with views, and a bit of history on wheels. If you're planning a route with interesting stops, this castle is a definite yes.

Remains of a medieval castle in Villanueva de Jamuz. The cylindrical towers are an amazing structure.

The small town of San Esteban De Nogales sits on the banks of the Eria River. The town church is a good place to start your adventures in this area.

This 15th century castle is visible from the road. It is currently abandoned and mostly ruins, but the outer walls are preserved.

Dating back over 3,000 years, this prehistoric megalithic site is worth a visit. You may need to walk your bike from the road to the actual Dolmen because I think bicycling is not allowed.

Right next to the road you will find these Roman ruins. From what I read, it was a Roman outpost protecting trade routes in the area.
