Berlangas De Roa: Holiday Apartment Amid Wine, River Landscapes and Culture

Berlangas de Roa is particularly distinctive where the Riaza flows into the Duero. Along the river, riparian forests provide habitats for birds such as the red-backed shrike and the grey heron. Water, riverbanks and birdlife create a distinct natural accent before paths, viticulture and historic townscapes take centre stage.

Nature and Paths

Stage 10 of the nature trail from Aranda de Duero to Roa leads as far as Berlangas de Roa. The restoration of former gravel-extraction sites created several lagoons along this stage. In addition, Berlangas de Roa has walking trails in natural surroundings. The stage and the local walking trails are two differently named trail references; travellers who organise their days according to the character of each route can include these details separately in their planning.

Wine and Landscape

A distinctly different facet is found in viticulture. At Condado de Haza in Berlangas de Roa, visitors can take part in guided tours, wine-tasting courses and wine-tourism experiences by prior appointment. Condado de Haza is surrounded by 200 hectares of vineyards and produces Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva wines from the Tempranillo grape variety.

The winery operated by Condado de Haza, located on the Duero, has a natural viewpoint offering a 360-degree panorama over Ribera del Duero. Viticulture therefore appears here not only as an agricultural subject, but also as a specifically named component of the landscape.

Culture and Townscape

The sights of Berlangas de Roa include the Ermita de la Virgen de los Huertos. The historic centre contains manor houses in which adobe bricks and stone alternate. The tradition of the Cencerrero derives from an old custom of local farmers, who walked through the streets in traditional clothing and with cowbells.

A religious building, historic houses and a traditional custom thus stand alongside one another as different forms of cultural expression. The description of the Cencerrero also preserves the connection to the local farmers and their procession through the streets.
