At the confluence of the Riaza and Duero rivers, Berlangas de Roa brings together river landscapes, wine and historic architectural heritage. The Condado de Haza winery offers a wine tourism experience, while walking routes in natural surroundings and the historic centre provide other points of interest. This means you can explore the town from several perspectives: with a visit arranged in advance, along routes through natural surroundings, or through its architectural and customary history. These themes give you different ways to shape your stay.
Wine by appointment
At Condado de Haza, guided tours, wine-tasting courses and wine tourism experiences are available by prior appointment. Confirm the details of your visit directly when arranging your appointment. The winery, located on the Duero, is surrounded by 200 hectares of vineyards. The Tempranillo grape produces Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva wines. For wine enthusiasts, the grape variety and wine categories offer two concrete points of connection to the production process. The winery also has a natural viewpoint with 360-degree views across the Ribera del Duero. When arranging your appointment, also ask whether the viewpoint is accessible during your visit.
River landscapes and routes
In Berlangas de Roa, the Riaza flows into the Duero. Along the river, riverside forests provide habitats for birds, including red-backed shrikes and grey herons. The confluence, riverside woodland and birdlife give the natural setting specific features: alongside the watercourse, the habitat along its banks is also part of the picture. If you enjoy walking, Berlangas de Roa has walking routes through natural surroundings. Stage 10 of the Nature Trails route from Aranda de Duero to Roa also reaches Berlangas de Roa. The walking routes offer a general connection with nature; Stage 10 provides a specific route to follow. When choosing what to focus on, you can decide whether to explore the river area and its birdlife or the course of the Nature Trails route.
Architectural heritage and the Cencerrero
The historic centre can also be explored through specific details. In its manor houses, adobe brickwork alternates with stone; this contrast in materials is a distinctive feature of the local architectural style. The Ermita de la Virgen de los Huertos is also one of Berlangas de Roa’s sights. Another cultural tradition is the Cencerrero. It originated in an old local farming custom: farmers would walk through the streets in traditional clothing and with cowbells. The custom has been revived, but the exact programme may vary from year to year. If you would like to experience the Cencerrero, check the dates before your trip. The architectural history can be seen in the mix of materials used in the manor houses; the Cencerrero, by contrast, reflects the agricultural origins of a custom.
