Those interested in springs and traces of the past will find natural springs, the remains of the former settlement of San Medel and church ruins in Bernuy de Porreros. For outdoor activities, the local Pequeños Exploradores route connects a series of springs and a stream; the Arroyos de Polendos y San Medel cycling route is 26.5 km long.

Routes between spring and stream

Pequeños Exploradores starts in the village and leads to Fuente de los Caños. The route then follows a shaded path alongside the Arroyo San Medel; the return journey is via Fuente de los Pájaros. Fuente de los Caños is a natural spring on Avenida del Doctor Gila in Soto de Arriba. The route thus links the starting point in the village with a spring, the stream and another stop on the way back.

The Arroyos de Polendos y San Medel cycling route follows local roads and tracks. Bernuy de Porreros is located along the route at kilometre 21.4. The route crosses the Arroyo San Medel and continues upstream along a track to Fuente del Moro.

San Medel and the history of its churches

The remains of the former settlement of San Medel lie between Bernuy de Porreros and Valseca. The ruins of the Church of San Medel, a former parish church serving the settlement, still retain their bell gable. There are also Celtiberian remains near San Medel.

The Ermita de San Roque was a rectangular, single-nave temple. Its ruins lie on the road to Espirdo in Soto de Arriba.

The old mill of San Medel is also set in an attractive natural landscape: its ruins are in Soto de Abajo and belonged to a grain mill. Another trace of the past is the water channel from Fuente de Rubiales to Zamarramala. Water was carried through a clay-pipe conduit; records of it date from 1770.

The Iglesia de Santiago Apóstol was included for the first time in the 2026 summer programme to open 58 churches in the Diocese of Segovia. As this is a seasonal programme, check the opening dates before visiting.

Springs, recreation area and getting your bearings

Fuente del Moro is a natural spring on the road to Espirdo in Soto de Arriba. Parque del Juncar serves a different purpose: it is a recreation area for walking and relaxing.

For geographical context, Bernuy de Porreros is 8.6 km from Segovia and 2.3 km from the access road to the Autovía de Pinares A-601. These two distances give an indication of its proximity both to the city of Segovia and to the Autovía junction. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay, you can take this location into account alongside the local routes, springs and historic sites when choosing your destination.
