Quick Facts

History & Context

Situated on the beautiful Douro river Soria is a city, open between two hills and the sky. Two poets, Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer and, especially, Antonio Machado, sang to Soria in very inspired verses: "l have seen again the golden poplars, poplars along the way on the bank of the Duero River between San Polo and San Saturio, behind the old walls of barbican Soria..."It was Machado's favorite walkway, the one the river follows between beautiful poplars, and which permits one to begin to understand the true meaning of Soria. Transparent light spans the range of all the colours in the landscape. The city, as though hidden, starts in San Juan de Duero. It crosses the river and opens in "streets narrow, dark and winding, "where one can get lost in admiration. The houses show an old and compacted history. And, finally, to the west, the Alameda de Cervantes, providing a green finishing touch to the city, captivates and charms.
