Roa

Roa is a municipality in the province of Burgos in northern Spain. The town sits along a river and features a compact layout with traditional stone buildings and narrow streets that wind toward its center.

Roa developed as a small settlement along the Duero River and served as an important crossing point in the Castile region for centuries. The town has retained its traditional layout despite changes over the modern era.

The town is small and easy to explore on foot since main areas are within close reach of one another. The best time to visit is during daylight hours when sunlight enhances the street views and daily activities are visible.
