If you are looking for a new, unique destination, then Soria is for you!
With no fixed itinerary this holiday allows you to take each day as it comes, exploring this fantastic region at your own pace. This walking holiday has a rating of flexible, this means YOU decide how much walking (if any) you wish to do on a daily basis.
Urbion Exploration holiday is based in the quaint rural village of Vinuesa. This small interesting village nestled in convergence of the Rivers Revinuesa & Duero offers the visitor an amalgamation of urban and rural landscapes, history and tradition. Sitting in the ‘Pinares’ (Pine region) the largest forest mass on the Iberian Peninsula, it’s not surprising the forest and surrounding Picos Urbion are a draw card for outdoor enthusiasts throughout the year. There are many walking and hiking routes along which you can enjoy spectacular scenery, wild lavender & thyme, native trees, birds and other fauna. Autumn brings mushroom collecting and the sounds of the wild deer bellowing.
You’ll be provided with a detailed information pack including, walking and topography maps, information about the village and places of interest, list of restaurants and food options including some of our favorite places to pick up picnic supplies.
With over 25 walks of varying difficulty and length there is something for every walker. Some walking trails begin and end in the village, others higher up in the Picos Urbion and Cebollera. We are also on hand to provide backup support should you require it.
The accommodation we have chosen for you is the rural inn Casa La Pinariega. Built in the 19th century it has been fully restored keeping original features and includes modern touches such as central heating and en suite bathrooms. Your double occupancy room comes with en suite bathroom, continental breakfast and use of the guest lounge.
