Urueña

Located at 830 meters elevation, Urueña stands at the edge of Torozos Mountains, featuring narrow streets and stone buildings surrounded by ancient walls.

The town served as a strategic point during battles between León and Castile kingdoms, with its defensive walls and castle still standing as military architecture.

Urueña holds the distinction of being Spain's first Book Village, with multiple bookstores and literary establishments spread throughout its medieval streets.

The tourism office operates from Tuesday to Sunday in winter with extended hours during summer months, providing information about accommodations and local services.

The Hermitage of Nuestra Señora de la Anunciada represents the only remaining example of Romanesque-Lombard architecture in the Castile and León region.
