Our trips starts in Covarrubias, a small village and municipality in the province of Burgos located approximately 200 km north of Madrid. Covarrubias is considered to be one of the most beautiful villages in Spain with its half-timbered houses and cobblestone squares. Day 2 Circular walk in the Valles de Ura, home to numerous species of local flora and fauna. We set out from Covarrubias and walk by the Arlanza river to the village of Puentedura and then down into the gorge of Mataviejas. After lunch we climb out of the gorge and make our way to a hermitage, Ermita de Redonda, and then back to Covarrubias. Day 3 Walk the GR82 from Retuerta to Santo Domingo, stopping at an iconic filming location from "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". We will be transferred to the village of Retuerta to start our day on the GR82 of Sierra de la Demanda, walking along easy tracks through crop fields and forests. Along the way we pass the 18th-century Tenadas del Valcárcel buildings and pass through the peaceful village of Contreras. Then, get ready for an unexpected sprinkle of Hollywood magic as we visit the site of the fictional cemetery from the famous Western "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", where the final sequence of the film was shot. We continue walking towards Santo Domingo de Silos with time to visit the cloister museum (optional) before being collected by our private transport for the return journey to Covarrubias, with a short visit to La Yecla gorge on the way back. Day 4 Walk from San Juan de Ortega to Burgos on the world-renowned Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. We will take a morning transfer to the traditional village of San Juan de Ortega, starting our walk at Stage 12 of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. Taking countryside tracks, we will arrive at the village of Ages, where we will follow the camino along the road to the town of Atapuerca. From there, we rejoin tracks all the way to the village of Villafría on the outskirts of Burgos. From there, we will be collected by our private vehicle and transferred to the historical centre of Burgos, where there is free time to visit the city's magnificent cathedral (optional) or simply wander around the picturesque centre. Our private vehicle will transfer us back to Covarrubias in the early evening. Day 5 Walk through vineyards and beautiful valleys to 'The Three Villages', three remote and primitive settlements. We leave Covarrubias by the Arlanza river on the Camino del Cid and climb through vineyards on the way to the first village of Retuerta. We then leave this Camino and climb over the ridge, descending to the second village of Castroceniza. Lunch will be taken in this beautiful valley on the way to the third village of Ura. Another climb out of the valley takes us through forest and farmland to a highpoint overlooking Covarrubias, before descending back to the hotel. Day 6 Free day to relax or visit the cathedral city of Burgos and its many attractions. A suggested day is to take the 9:00 public bus to visit Burgos and see more of its many attractions. Return on the 13:00 bus to Covarrubias, where you could take a siesta or a short afternoon walk. Alternatively, you may like to take the public bus to Burgos' Museum of Human Evolution then take the museum bus to the archaeological site of Atapuerca (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) to see the oldest human fossils in western Europe.In the early evening, there is an optional visit to Silos for a vespers prayer service. Day 7 Walk along the crest of the Sierra de las Mamblas for stunning panoramic views. Another steady climb out of Covarrubias brings us through the dense forest to a limestone edge. After lunch, we ascend along the edge with wonderful views to the Sierra de la Demanda, before descending back to Covarrubias. An optional visit to a bodega (winery) is possible before dinner.
