 | Ribera de Duero Wine Route
Spending 4 nights at the Paradores de Soria, Lerma and Tordesillas means an inevitable incursion into one of the most renowned winegrowing regions of Castilla- León, namely Ribera del Duero. It runs for around one hundred kilometers following the course of the upper reaches of the Douro River, the watercourse responsible for giving the clay soils that sweep away from its banks their unique character. The vines of this region receive an average of 500 liters of rainwater and 2,500 hours of sun per year and there are 11,653 hectares of land under cultivation. The Tinta del País variety of grape gives these wines their typical characteristics. This strong strain of grape is blended with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Garnacha and Albillo varieties and over the past two decades these have combined to produce some of the highest quality wines on the market.

| The Monasteries Route
The three enclaves of Soria, Olite and Sos del Rey Católico have not been chosen at random. We discover that Sos and Veruela (where a Parador is soon to be opened) were, within the Kingdom of Aragón, protecting its frontiers with Navarre, just as Olite was built by the Navarrese as a fortress to keep the Aragonese at bay. Meanwhile, Soria was the ancient frontier territory separating Aragón and the Crown of Castile, to which it belonged. This plethora of fortified outposts bestows special characteristics upon these monasteries, whose purpose was that of both safeguarding and furthering the culture of each kingdom. This route immerses the traveler in the medieval art that sprung from the fertile wine-producing valleys. (Madrid Vacations) | 7 Nights (min)
