The days starts with a stroll around the church ‘Ermita de Nuestra Señora del Mirón’ which lies beside the hotel. Then a slow walk by the river Duero (Paraje Natural Soto Playa). Autumn colors surrounds us and it’s all very lovely.

We drive towards Sigüenza. Mostly on the highway. Siguënza is marvellous and we get a good late lunch overlooking the cathedral which we also get to enjoy, including an interesting exhibition commemorating Cervantes and Shakespeare 1616 – 2016, aTempora.

After Siguënza we drive on to our last destination of this vacation – Cuenca. End of the day clouds and some light rain emerged. Who cares…

Beautiful day while driving from Bilbao to Soría. Beautiful sights over forests, mountains and vineyards. Passed through Vitoria-Gasteiz without stopping but parked, walked and ate a late lunch in Logroño. Arrived in the evening to a grand view from the hotel room in Soría, overlooking Río Duero.
