Castronuño

Castronuño sits on dramatic cliffs above the Río Duero — the views over the river valley are the best you'll see on this stretch of the Levante. The Mirador del Duero is worth a pause. The town has a ruined castle and a church with a fine retablo.

Basic services are available. Castronuño is one of the more scenic stops on the Castilian meseta — the cliff-edge position gives it a character that the flat villages behind you lack.
