# Duratón River Gorges and Sepúlveda A limestone canyon with vultures, the hermitage of San Frutos and canoe routes, with Sepúlveda as a base: how to get there, permits, where to eat and sleep. Fuente: https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/castile-and-leon/duraton-gorges · Revisado: 2026-11-12 The River Duratón crosses the north-east of the province of Segovia through a limestone canyon with walls up to 100 metres high, full of tight meanders. On its ledges the griffon vulture nests, and you will see it flying over your head, and on top of one of the meanders the hermitage and priory of San Frutos, the patron saint of Segovia, are preserved. The Junta de Castilla y León declared it a Natural Park in 1989. It can be seen in two ways: from above, walking across the moorland to the hermitage, and from below, paddling down the river. Both fit in one day. ## How do I get there from Madrid? By car, along the A-1 as far as the Boceguillas area and then towards Sepúlveda, or via Segovia and Cantalejo. The route planner gives about an hour and forty minutes to Sepúlveda and a little under two hours to the San Frutos car park. From Segovia it takes about an hour and ten, from Valladolid an hour and forty and from Burgos a little over an hour and a half. Public transport is no use: the only line to Sepúlveda is an on-demand service with Boceguillas. Without a car you can't reach San Frutos or the canoe put-in. ## Where do I park and where do I start? There are three points. For the hermitage of San Frutos, the San Frutos car park, reached from Villaseca; the last kilometres are a track. For the Senda de los Dos Ríos and the town, the Talcano car park, next to the bridge, below Sepúlveda. For the canoe, the meeting point you are given when you book: San Miguel de Bernuy or Sebúlcor. Start, if you can, at the Park Visitor Centre, in the old church of Santiago in Sepúlveda: they inform you about the state of the paths and the restrictions during the nesting season. ## Do I need a permit? For the San Frutos path, no: the park's official leaflet says it isn't needed at any time of year. From January to July, when the birds nest, some areas of the canyon have regulated access; ask at the Park Visitor Centre before leaving the signposted paths. Climbing, caving, overnight stays and unauthorised drones are not allowed in the park. For the river, Situral explains that inside the protected area you go with a guide-monitor; its independent route leaves from San Miguel de Bernuy. ## How much time do I need? A full day covers the canoe in the morning, lunch in Sepúlveda and San Frutos at sunset, which is when the light is best over the meander. With a night you can add the Senda de los Dos Ríos and the town of Sepúlveda without rushing. ## What to do San Frutos hermitage path. 925 metres each way, an hour in all, with a viewpoint over the canyon. Canoe route. About 8 km of calm water with Situral: €33 guided, €25 independent. Senda de los Dos Ríos. 5 km circular from Sepúlveda. Park Visitor Centre. The interpretation centre, in Sepúlveda. The town of Sepúlveda. Wall gates, the Plaza Mayor and the Romanesque church of El Salvador. ## Where do I eat and sleep? Sepúlveda is the base: it has roast-lamb restaurants with wood ovens, such as El Panadero, where the roast is ordered when you book, and rural hotels in the centre, such as the Vado del Duratón or the Hospedería de los Templarios. If you want to sleep inside the park, El Cañón del Duratón is in Villaseca, on the road to San Frutos. ## When should I go? Spring and autumn are the best times: temperatures for walking on the moorland and paddling without the heat. In summer the sun beats down hard up top and there is no shade; do San Frutos early or late in the afternoon. In winter the canyon has a very clean light, but check the hours of the canoe companies. ## Dónde está - Cerca: Pedraza (a 20.6 km), Madrid's Sierra Norte: Patones, Buitrago and the Montejo Beech Forest (a 39.2 km), Peñafiel and the Ribera del Duero (a 39.3 km), Lozoya Valley: Rascafría, El Paular and Peñalara (a 46 km) ## Qué hacer - **Path to the Hermitage of San Frutos** (1 h · 1.9 km · Everyone; no difficulty · Independent visit · free): It is the shortest and easiest visit in the Duratón Gorges: a 925-metre path from the San Frutos car park to the old priory, built on top of one of the canyon's meanders. You return the same way. In all, an hour's unhurried walk and 80 metres of climb, with low difficulty. It needs no permit at any time of year, not even from January to July, the breeding season for many birds, when the park is most vulnerable. From Villaseca to the car park You drive from Sepúlveda along the Villaseca road, following the signs to the hermitage as far as the San Frutos car park, on the moorland plateau. There is no fountain or facilities: set out with water. Downhill on the way out, uphill on the way back The path starts at the car park, at about 1,025 metres above sea level, and descends gently across the plateau to the bridge, about 75 metres lower; from there it climbs a little to the hermitage. In other words, the tiring part is the return, a slight climb with no shade. It is walkable along its whole length, including with small children. The viewpoint, the vultures and the juniper About three hundred metres from the car park the turning to the viewpoint over the river branches off. From it you see the Burgomillodo reservoir, which closes the park at one end, and the cliffs the Duratón has opened up over millions of years. Around you grow Spanish junipers, prickly junipers and aromatic plants, and on the walls live rock-dwelling plants such as the zapatitos de la Virgen. Overhead you can easily see griffon vultures, Egyptian vultures and red-billed choughs, and on the plateau live steppe birds such as the Dupont's lark. San Frutos and the Cuchillada Saint Frutos, patron saint of Segovia, was born in the year 642 and retired to this place, then called the Duratón desert, with his siblings Valentín and Engracia. Today you see the hermitage surrounded by the remains of the priory and, next to the apse, a Visigothic necropolis. The site is entered by an 18th-century stone bridge that spans a crack called the Cuchillada, which recalls one of the saint's miracles. From the bridge you see the tightest meanders of the river. Park rules Do not leave the path, do not light fires, do not make noise, do not fly drones without authorisation and do not take away plants, stones or remains. Dogs must be under control at all times. Picnics only in the designated recreation areas. There is no phone signal at the bottom of the canyon. To see the canyon from the water, the canoe trip leaves from Sebúlcor; for lunch, El Panadero, in Sepúlveda, is about twenty minutes away. - **Canoe Trip through the Duratón Canyon** (3 h 30 · 8.5 km · Families and groups; calm water · Desde 25 € per person): Paddling down the Duratón is seeing the canyon from below. The river has carved meanders in the limestone and the walls reach about a hundred metres, with griffon vultures on the ledges. The stretch you paddle is calm, reservoir water, so no experience is needed, but you must be able to swim. Inside the Natural Park you always go in a group and with an instructor: it is a protected area. The guided trip, step by step It is run by Situral, an adventure tourism company in Sebúlcor (registration TA 40-04). The day goes like this: Meeting.

Before or after the water The path to the hermitage of San Frutos shows you the same canyon from above, in an hour on foot. For lunch, the Asador El Panadero, in Sepúlveda, roasts lamb to order. - **Two Rivers Path from Sepúlveda** (2 h · 5 km · Almost everyone; some ups and downs · Independent visit · free): It is the route for getting to know the town of Sepúlveda and the start of the canyon at the same time. The Two Rivers Paths are a network of trails marked with waymarks that leave from the town, and the itinerary recommended by the Castilla y León Natural Heritage Foundation makes a circular loop that starts and ends at the Park Centre, in the old church of Santiago. Castilla y León Tourism gives it about 5.6 km and medium-low difficulty; allow about two hours with stops. The route From the Park Centre you go to the Plaza Mayor and along calle de la Barbacana to the medieval Ecce Homo gate. You climb calle de los Santos Justo y Pastor to the church of the Virgen de la Peña, patron saint of the town, with its viewpoint. From there the path continues along the top of the rock slabs to the Puerta de la Fuerza and descends to the river along the remains of the old Roman road. At the Picazos bridge you cross the Duratón and go up the river on the left. After a short climb, the ICONA footbridge offers one of the best views in the area, according to the park leaflet. The path passes the dam of the old Fábrica de la Luz and reaches the Roman bridge of Talcano, where it joins the trail that continues to the Villaseca bridge. The return passes the Talcano car park; stone steps skirt the Silla de Montar a Caballo, a striking rock formation, and you go down to the Caslilla, which you cross by the Palmarejos bridge. To finish, a gentle climb up the hillside leads to the Puerta del Castro and the Puerta de Duruelo, through which you enter the walled enclosure again and the Plaza Mayor. What to see along the way Up on the plateau there are hardly any trees: the odd juniper standing alone among lavender, thyme and marjoram, and brown birds that camouflage themselves on the ground, such as pipits, larks and crested larks; the Dupont's lark lives here too. Down by the river, shade is provided by poplars, ash, willows and alders, and you hear nightingales, finches, robins and golden orioles. Griffon vultures nest on the limestone walls of the canyon: look at the rock and you will see their perches. When and how It can be done all year, except when the river is in spate. It has some ups and downs, above all on the descent along the road and on the climbs back to the town, so wear walking shoes. Leave the car in the signposted car parks; inside the park you cannot climb, collect rocks, plants or animals, or camp or spend the night. - **Duratón River Gorges Park Visitor Centre** (45 min · Families): The Duratón River Gorges Park Visitor Centre (Casa del Parque) occupies the old Romanesque church of Santiago, at calle Conde de Sepúlveda, 34. It explains the canyon, its birds and its history, and it is the place where they give you information on the trails, the state of the paths and the areas with restrictions during the birds of prey breeding season, from January to July. The visit takes about three quarters of an hour. What is inside You enter by the rear side of the church. At reception there is a map of the park and of the Network of Natural Areas, the information desk and a small shop of local products. The panels zigzag, imitating the gorges, and tell the story of the park in parts: the geology of the escarpments, with fossils and a sample of dolomite; a replica of the Siete Altares cave, with information on the park's 23 species of bats; the riverbank, with its trees, fish and the otter, and the programme against the American mink; the moorland plateau, with the Dupont's lark and traditional grazing, and the cliffs, with photos of the hermitage of San Frutos. The griffon vulture has its own space, with an audiovisual and a recreation of a group of vultures feeding on a carcass. For children there is a shelf of jars of aromatic herbs to smell and guess, and a panel with the wingspan of the birds of prey, next to a sample nest. The church itself is part of the visit: in the apse, a glass floor shows gravestones that appeared during the restoration, and in the crypt, under a barrel vault, there are about twenty anthropomorphic tombs cut into the rock, all facing west. The reconstructed choir explains the traditions of Sepúlveda, such as the Diablillo festival. 2026 hours From 1 November to 31 December: Monday and Thursday from 10:00 to 15:00; Friday, Saturday and the eves of public holidays from 10:00 to 15:00 and from 16:00 to 18:00; Sundays and public holidays from 10:00 to 15:00.

Next to it is the viewpoint, looking out over the Duratón canyon. On the way you will see other churches: Santiago, with its brick apse, unique in Sepúlveda, which is now the Park Centre; Santos Justo y Pastor, from the 12th and 13th centuries, converted into the Museo de los Fueros, and, outside the walls, San Bartolomé, the only one left of the three that stood outside.
