Citores del Páramo: Culture, Landscape and History

In the centre of Citores del Páramo, the Estatua de la Aguadora stands out in particular. The statue crowns a fountain built by the village's residents in 1831 and is dedicated to the women who fetched water. Citores del Páramo is located on a páramo, that is, on a plateau.

Culture

The statue was created by the artist Salaguti. This allows you to focus your cultural exploration of the village on a specific work of art and its location in the village centre. When planning your visit, you can consider the village centre, the plateau setting and the destinations in the wider surrounding region as separate focal points. The themes do not have to be combined into a single type of experience; their differences can be assessed independently.

Landscape

The wider surrounding region of Citores del Páramo includes the Mirador viewpoint, the Playa fluvial Fuente del Prior river beach, Villas Del Arlanzon Molino Ramon park and the Manantial de Fuentes Claras spring. These names offer several factual perspectives on the surrounding region.

A viewpoint, a river beach, a park and a spring represent different types of landscape connection. When planning your trip, you can consider these perspectives side by side and decide for yourself which topic is most important to you. This keeps the selection clear without equating different types of places and landscapes.

History

Citores del Páramo is a starting point of the Vía Aquitania. The route has been recognised as a historic Way of St. James and partly follows the course of the former Roman road XXXIV Ab Asturica Burdigalam, which connected Astorga with Bordeaux.

The wider surrounding region of Citores del Páramo also includes Castillo de Castrojeriz, a castle. In addition, there are the ruins of the Monasterio de San Antón and the ruins of the Convento de San Francisco. The wider surrounding region of Citores del Páramo also includes the Palacio de los Condes de Castro, a historic site.

When planning your trip, you can consider the village's connection to the historic route separately from the historical sites and landscape destinations in the wider surrounding region. Citores del Páramo therefore brings together several clearly distinguishable subject areas, which you can prioritise according to your own preferences.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Citores del Páramo, you can compare travel dates, room categories and cancellation policies on the accommodation pages. Which of these details matters most to you first depends on your own plans.
