    In the town of Montes de Valdueza, the most remote hiding place of the Montes Aquilanos, it was founded by hermits in the 7th century on an old Roman fort, it conserves pre-Romanesque, Romanesque, Baroque styles and later reforms. It has been declared a National Monument and an Asset of Cultural Interest.

    Hiking

    Set against a beautiful backdrop of mountain peaks and lush green slopes, the Monastery of San Pedro de Montes is the center point of this charming traditional mountain village. The monastery was rebuilt in the 13th century after the Muslims sacked the original monastery in the 7th century.
