Espinosa de los Monteros
Espinosa de los Monteros, Mountain municipality in the Province of Burgos, Spain
Located at an elevation of 762 meters in the Cantabrian Mountains, Espinosa de los Monteros extends across 137 square kilometers of varied terrain.
The Royal Guard of the Gentlemen of the Chamber was established here in 1008 by Sancho García of Castile to protect the king during sleep.
The municipality features multiple medieval towers and the Renaissance-style Chiloeches Palace, alongside the Church of St. Eulalia with its architectural details.
The local economy centers on cattle farming and dairy production, with recent developments in winter sports activities at the nearby ski facilities.
The municipality hosted a significant battle on November 10-11, 1808, where French forces under General Victor defeated the Spanish Army of Galicia.
