The best MTB trails around Leza De Río Leza

Next to Leza de Río Leza, with easy and very nice access for gravel from Ribafrecha

Reaching this abandoned village requires you to do some steep climbing. The ruins are fascinating. You'll find the remains of houses, a church, and even the town fountain. Not all of the ruins are accessible but you can enter as if you were walking into town. I recommend proceeding with caution, I don't think anyone is keeping track of the state of the ruins. I poked my head into one of the ruined houses and found it full of cow bones. Definitely a creepy spot but one worth visiting if you're willing to make the climb.

It is located in the Leza Valley, between Leza on the Leza River and Soto en Cameros. Fairly quiet road and very busy with cyclists throughout the year. Sitting and watching the flight of the vultures in the canyon is a privilege.

Torremuña is a town that had only 13 inhabitants in 2011. It is crowned by the church of Santa María La Blanca, which is in ruins. In ancient times, the town prospered thanks to the production of cereals, legumes and wool yarn. Little by little it became depopulated and in 1971 three Spanish-Flemish tables from the 16th century were stolen from its church.

The chronicles of King Fernando IV bring the first news about this fortress, which in 1299 served as a prison for Juan Nuñez de Lara, defeated after attacking the lands of the bishopric of Calahorra. In the 14th century it was the center of power of the Señorío de Cameros, linked to the Ramírez de Arellano family. The abolition of manors in the 19th century ended its raison d'être, and it was quickly used as a source of construction materials by the local inhabitants. With time and the effect of rain and wind, landslides followed one another, and the base of the castle was flattened and conditioned as it was for threshing.

The vulture viewpoint is located on the Cidacos greenway, a short distance from Arnedillo. From here you can see the rock that is just opposite, on the other side of the road and where you can see all the activity of the colony of vultures that reside here. Around 200 pairs live and fly in this area. You can see the nesting areas between the holes in the rocks.
