Routes to go by mountain bike in the province of Soria
Soria, a paradigm of the so -called 'empty Spain' is nevertheless a land that is beginning to exploit cycling as an activity that is attracting visitors and investment to the area. The province is full of places of great interest to the practice of Mountain Bike, such as the Lobos River Canyon, Los Pinares de Urbión, the Sierra de Cabrejas or the semi -desert land of Medinaceli or Arcós de Jalón.
In addition, it has towns and cities loaded with history and monuments, such as the capital itself, Burgo de Osma, Almazán or Medinaceli.
Lobos River Canyon Route
An essential mountain bicycle route if you visit Soria and one of the most attractive of this guide. We enter the place of the Natural Park of the Lobos River Canyon. A karst relief formed by the river that leaves rock formations of great beauty, simas, caves and pools that can be traveled by very fun paths.
In addition, we will cross momentarily to the province of Burgos to climb to the gunpoint of the canyon from Hontoria del Pinar, where we will contemplate spectacular views of the canyon environment and its children. A horseway between the XC and the affordable trail for any biker of medium level with minimal experience in mountain cycling.
The Celtiberian ring is a great route that can be made by mountain bicycle or on foot in stages and that travels a good part of the province visiting the places where the first Celtiberian settlers in the province were settled.
This route corresponds to the first stage, leaving in Soria Capital and arrival in Sotillo del Rincón. An affordable tour to kilometer 40, tracing the course of the Duero River to the north and crossing places of great landscape interest such as the Buitrago Campillo reservoir or the Mirador del Monte Valonsadero.
The south of the province of Soria, at the height of the localities of Medinaceli and Arcos de Jalón, is a very interesting place to program a mountain bicycle route. Aggressive, almost lunar landscapes, with white limestone plateaus form a unique landscape to roll.
In Jalón arches there is precisely a homonymous BTT center that prepares and exploits routes through this unique natural environment. One of those routes is this of the White Montes, quite affordable and even suitable for Grange, with spectacular views of the Jalón Valley in its Sorian and Aragonese aspect or the beautiful path parallel to the ravine of the Arroyo del Valladar.
