Vinuesa

Castilian kings once hunted in the pine forests around Vinuesa, which earned it the medieval nickname 'La Corte de los Pinares'. The town stands at 1,107 metres at the foot of the Picos de Urbión, beside a young Duero now held back by the Cuerda del Pozo reservoir. Manor houses built on wool-trade wealth line its streets, and the glacial Laguna Negra lies within the municipality.
