Under the shelter of the Abión and Ucero rivers we find the historic Soria town of El Burgo de Osma, a must-see for the important artistic and architectural heritage it houses.
This ancient episcopal city, presided over by the cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, preserves within its walls treasures of incalculable value and magical corners of medieval reminiscence.
Its delicious gastronomy where there is no shortage of slaughter products or the typical torreznos del alma is outstanding.
