About Sepúlveda

Sepúlveda stands on a rocky platform between two rivers in Segovia province, a village of Romanesque churches and narrow streets. The hanging houses lean over the Duratón gorge, and the natural park of the Hoces del Río Duratón below shelters griffon vultures and an old hermitage. Riaza, Pedraza and Segovia are within easy reach by car. Spring and autumn are best for walks; summers are dry and winters cold and clear.
