Historical Ermita de San Frutas perched on a promontory of the Hoces De Duraton. Buitre Leonardos (Griffin Vultures) nesting in the rocky river cliffs & soaring overhead. David Attenborough there weeks before filming those very same birds.
A visit to this area is a must. It is a miniature Grand Canyon with amazing views in every direction.
Muy impresionante la visita. Buitres sobrevolando el valle todo el tiempo y muy cerca. La Ermita de San Frutos merece la pena, siglo 12, algo complicado de llegar, llevar calzado adecuado es esencial.
The canyons are impressive, they appear as having been misplaced in this otherwise quite monotonous landscape. Especially the region around the little romanesque church of San Frutos and the ruins of the old franciscan monastery are worth visiting. The nearby city of Sepulveda h a lot of bars and restaurants and som interesting historic buildings.
Dont miss this place when in region! The walk from the parking is shot and it is part of the enjoyment, because you are already in fact there and can enjoy the views and nature. The parking is free, there are orientaton tables in the nearby villages so you will not get lost. Keep driving on the cobble road until you reach the final parking place. No facilities as to buying snacks or bathroom - luckily, because then it would be as busy as Disneyland. There are eagles and others flying around you. You may hear the sheeps´bells across the water. The views are astonishing, the water may have really spectacular colours. Do not mis this and Speulveda, when around.
Merece mucho la pena ir a este parque natural.Importante evitar las horas de sol si se va en época de calor.
Los buitres anidan en las cercanias del río; se debe mantener silencio en la medida de lo posible. Ruta muy sencilla y recomendable.
Es uno de los parajes emblemáticos de Castilla y León que combina naturaleza e historia. Se puede disfrutar el paisaje que esculpe el río Duratón y de las aves que lo pueblan, especialmente, los buitres, fácilmente observables.
Increíble. Un entorno maravilloso que llena el espíritu y la vista. Para quedarse horas escuchando el silencio y viendo volar las aves en este lugar donde la naturaleza se ha esmerado.
Walked down to see the stunningly set Ermita de San Frutos. The church is set on a promontory, in the midst of gorgeous and stunning scenery. Not overly demanding walking, either. Kites and other birds of prey fly overhead. Not to be missed.
