SUN 12 - EASY SCENIC HIKE - LATE START - MEDIEVAL BUITRAGO DE LOZOYA - BY BUS

Detalles

Due to popular demand, we're repeating this trail through a very special place, the INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL town and surroundings of medieval Buitrago de Lozoya. We'll go over, through and under the ancient walls, pass by the main sites, like the Clock Tower, the Church of Santa María del Castillo (dated 1300's) or the Castle of the Mendoza family (also 1300's). Then we'll walk on to the beautiful surrounding forests to admire an astounding view from up top, of the whole river framed city (for extra instagram pleasure) and from there to the ruins of the Osuna Palace (1600's), later a a small Civil War bunker (1936) and a bit further away, another Civil War spot, with great views.
