Sierra Arévalo de la Sierra. By Anonymous1789 Today we travel to a small town in the autonomous community of Castilla y León, in the province of Soria . Among fields, nature reserves and several streams we find Arévalo de la Sierra which, together with Torrearévalo and Ventosa de la Sierra, makes up the municipal area. There are many Soria towns that have unfortunately seen how life has gradually disappeared from their streets but, in Arévalo, there is a trail of hope. This ray of light is maintained thanks to the livestock farmers (sheep, pig and cattle), the around 16 inhabitants who continue to live in the town and their families, faithful to come whenever they can. Acebal de Garagüeta in Arévalo de la Sierra. By Tolo From EscapadaRural we have the help of Jorge Rivero Espuelas, son of Conchi Espuelas San Juan and grandson of Martina San Juan (considered the oldest woman in Arévalo) to guide us and tell us everything that this beautiful corner and its surroundings hide.
From the largest holly forest on the peninsula and dinosaur footprints, to rivers and swamps in which to cool off, charming towns and even some abandoned ones (as is the case of Castellanos). Esmeralda also helps us, in love with Arévalo and the person in charge of the bar/cafeteria in the center of town (next to the Casa del Parque, you can't miss it). Castellanos del Colombia Mobile Number List Campo Castellanos del Campo. By Diego Delso Arévalo de la Sierra as a formula for happiness Jorge lives in Barcelona and whenever he can he tries to go to Arévalo to have a few days of disconnection . “For me, Arévalo is paradise, family, it is that calm in the middle of a hurricane that offers the possibility of staying in touch with customs,” he explains to me with a smile. “We have had an internet connection for relatively recently (about 7 years) and, if there are many of us, it can collapse. It also depends on the telephone company, but every time I go I notice that I have arrived safely from the neighboring town of Almarza.
This happiness can be shared since Arévalo and its surroundings have several accommodations where you can spend the night. Jorge confesses that: “It is difficult to recommend an exact season to discover the municipality since each season offers something different. Maybe I would recommend going during Easter, for the Soria festivities or in August.” It also gives us the beautiful feeling of experiencing the town festivals at least once in a lifetime, feeling the traditions, listening to the band and seeing how all the “peñas” come together. Speaking of traditions, the small town keeps some games that remain over time and are usually played during the festive season. An example is “la tanguilla”, a precision game where the winner is the one who ends up throwing a cylindrical structure with round pieces. There is also frontón (a sport par excellence) and some homemade wooden bowling pins made by the inhabitants themselves. “These are perhaps the little things that bring happiness: being able to continue enjoying games that my grandmother played when she was young, contemplating one of the skies with the least light pollution while enjoying the tears of San Lorenzo, feeling that connection with nature and animals or even being able to sleep covered up in summer,” Jorge remembers.
