Declared Nature Reserve in 1985, and from 1987 it’s a zone of Special Protection for Birds. Of the more than 200 species of vertebrates present, special mention is given to the vulture and the golden eagles and snakes. The canyon expands along 25 kilometres from Ucero up to Hontoria of the Pine Forest, in the nearby province of Burgos.
The karstic landscape offers us a variety of forms and colours in torques, caves, chasms... The fountains and springs are abundant. The pine tree, the gall oak and the oak are trees typical of the canyon. The vegetation of the bank made up by black poplars and willows, will provide you with shade in the hottest days. The common vulture and the eagles, golden, culebrera and perdicera, overfly majestically. Amphibians, reptiles, fishes and mammals like the roe-deer, wild boar, rabbit, squirrel and hare make up the great family of animals that inhabit the canyon.

Calatañazor, from the Arabic Calatat-Nossurt, that means nest of the eagles, raises in the high of a mountain that dominates the fertile plaine of the river Abión. Of intense historical and natural environments, the episode known as Almanzor's Battle, has given reputation to this place, in which the Christians defeated the famous Arabic commander Almanzor in the year 1002.

Soria

Soria is a province placed to the North-East of Spain, in the autonomous community of Castilla y León. It offers incredible places that inspired love in poets like Bequer and Machado..... Two regions are distinguishable: land of Ágreda, with the capital in Ágreda, in the eastern part bordering Aragon and presided by the Moncayo, a place of gardens and forests, and the Soria Plateau, land of cereals and beet in the fertile plaine of the Douro.
It would be necessary to emphasise, the north zone that limits with the Rioja region, poor and rough zone but with important coal resources, and the zone of pine forests, with the Urbión's Peaks, place of birth of the Douro and the mythical Black Lagoon that inspired the poet Antonio Machado.

Burgo de Osma

Burgo de Osma is located at the southwest of the Soria province, in an emplacement in which fertile plaines, pastures and heights, come together.
The geographical frame is one of a synthesis of the landscape tipical of the old Castile, that of rocky mountains and the quiet valley of the Burgo de Osma, between the high Soria plateau and the bank of the Douro, in the confluence of the rivers Ucero and Abión, in an emplacement that brings together fertile valleys and plains with scarp and abrupt profiles, allowing simultaneously the rest and contemplation as well as the renewal of the spirit.
