Attractions and Places To See around Embalse de la Cuerda del Pozo - Top 11

Vinuesa Km 130. Altitude 1,090 m. The spring rains have completely filled the Cuerda del Pozo reservoir, making it impossible to follow the Senda del Duero along the shore of the large artificial lake. Many of the signs are submerged in water, and the trail is flooded. The only option is to follow the road to the dam facilities and, at the exit from the wall, rejoin the main route through beautiful oak and grassland pastures. The atmosphere is completely lonely, and the terrain is practically flat and conducive to the rural paths of Vilviestre de los Nabos and Hinojosa de la Sierra. The remains of the Hurtado de Mendoza Palace, located on a hilltop near the village, catch your eye before arriving. There's a new stretch of asphalt on the Garray road to the Campillo de Buitrago dam. The stage is almost over, but the icing on the cake is the Valonsordo meadow, where the Pedrajas River meets the Duero River. A beautiful oak grove completes the forest wonders of the Duero Trail. In Garray, the Natural Trails of the Duero Trail and the Soriano Water Trail join together. The Antonine Trail is the Camino Antonino. Signs point to the detour that climbs to the Numancia archaeological site and mark the way to the city of Soria via an entertaining uphill climb that ends at the footbridge of the ring road. The trail passes the Church of Santo Domingo, declared a Site of Cultural Interest, with a monumental Romanesque facade. The route continues among palaces, monasteries, stately homes, and cobbled streets, passing through the Plaza Mayor, home to the curious Fountain of the Lions, and finally descending to the Paseo de San Prudencio and the peaceful, landscaped banks of the Duero River.

Beautiful surroundings. It's hard to guess the bridge, only if you're lucky

In a lamentable state of conservation, it can only be seen when the waters of the reservoir are low. A project has been approved for its transfer and restoration. It is part of the road that linked the town, then called Visontium with the city of Uxama (near El Burgo of Osma). The bridge has a length of 87 meters and a width of 3. The maximum height is 5.5 m and the road, of which about 4 km are preserved quite well within the municipal territory with a few milestones, is typically Roman and is dated in the 2nd century. It was a secondary road that joined the main road Astúrica - Cesaraugusta and according to the inscription on the written stone that is in the neighboring town of Molinos de Duero it was made by Lucio Lucrecio Denso, who was Duunviro magistrate. The inscription reads: HANC VIAM AVG. L (ucius) LUCRET (ius) DENSUS II VIR. V. M. FECIT (translation: The II vir Lucio Lucrecio Denso made this Augusta way) . At present its lamentable state of conservation puts its integrity at risk, which is why it has been included in the Red List of heritage in danger of the association for the defense of heritage Hispania Nostra.

A Beautiful Town, and surrounded by forests in which to practice Gravel, or MTB or hiking, thanks to its service tracks
