Santa Gadea del Cid

Member of Los Pueblos más Bonitos de España

·

Its earliest recorded name, Término, probably marked the old border between Castile and Navarre, and the village grew up as a fortified Castilian outpost. Walls, two gateways and a castle reworked in the 15th century still enclose it, while the Gothic church of San Pedro keeps a Plateresque altarpiece. On the church square, where markets were once held, a medieval supper is staged today.
