Spanish Footsteps is a family run business providing walking holidays and guided tours to give visitors a real taste of the culture, nature and history of Spain . We have chosen the province of Soria as the location of our tours, because it is known for its pure clean air, due to its expanse of forests, nature parks, grazing lands and lack of heavy industry.

NATURE IN SORIA

Soria's vast expanse of forests, deep valleys and unspoilt natural protected areas, makes it the perfect habitat for a variety of wild animals and plant life. Including, Red Deer , Roe deer, Wild Boar and Fox. With little traffic on the roads and minor disturbance by man, you will have a better chance of seeing wildlife whilst on walks and on some country roads. We also find forests with Poplar, Elm, Chestnut, and Evergreen Oak tree species throughout the province. See the Sabinar de Calatanazor

BIRDS OF PREY (Vultures and Eagles)

The Canyon Rio Lobos Nature Park is a protected and the natural habitat of various birds of prey including, the Golden Eagle one of the largest birds of prey in the province. The Golden Eagle is often seen gliding over open cereal fields and canyons in search of prey. The number of Griffon Vulture has risen by 52% in the last few years. Recent studies show, there are now 350 pairs of Vultures in the Soria province. On a Spanish Footsteps tour you are almost guaranteed to see these large birds circling the skies.

WILD FLOWERS AND HERBS

Along the network of walking tracks that cross the province you will find wild flowers and herbs which have been collected by the villagers for centuries. Thyme, Lavender, Rosemary, Heather and Sage fill the air with their distinctive scent and the Chamomile collected has long been used for medicinal purposes.

RIO DUERO

As the streams make their way from the higher grounds towards the River Duero you will find an abundance of wildlife harbouring these areas. The Otter is starting to make a welcome comeback here and the rivers are teaming with fish including Trout and freshwater Crayfish.

SORIA has opted to promote a new type of tourism, conserving its natural environment. No matter which time of year you visit, the landscape will appear different as the colours of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter blend into each other.
