Barbadillo de Herreros

Highlight • Settlement

Barbadillo de Herreros is a small town in the Sierra de la Demanda, surrounded by mountains, forests, and rivers, making it an ideal spot for hiking enthusiasts. Its history is marked by iron mining and the old ironworks, the memory of which is preserved in the Ironworks Museum. The town sits on the banks of the Pedroso River, at over 1,100 meters above sea level, offering a fresh, natural setting perfect for mountain hikes. From here, you can climb to peaks such as San Millán Peak, the highest peak in Burgos at 2,132 meters. It is a peaceful place, with barely a hundred inhabitants, where traditional festivals such as that of the Virgen de Costana are still celebrated.

San Martín Obispo Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of San Martín in Huerta de Arriba combines a Romanesque apse with a neoclassical nave built in 1729. Inside, the main altarpiece stands out, in a neoclassical style with Baroque influences. It is a good example of how different architectural styles coexist in a single rural church.
