San Esteban De Valdueza – Nature, Culture and Holiday Apartment

San Esteban de Valdueza lies at the beginning of the Valdueza Valley. From San Esteban de Valdueza, the ascent into the narrow, green Oza Valley begins along the river. For planning purposes, a fixed kilometre point and the description of the river valley can be considered as two different levels of orientation.

Hiking

At kilometre 6.5, the Senda de los Monjes hiking route reaches the church of San Esteban de Valdueza. The specific route point makes the route just as tangible as its destination within the village. A hike with a specified kilometre marker can be classified differently from an open landscape description.

Nature

The Oza Valley, which can be reached from San Esteban de Valdueza, has lush vegetation including chestnut trees, holm oaks, strawberry trees and oaks; alders grow near the riverbanks. Thus, different tree species and the riverside area appear side by side within the same description of the valley.

The Oza Valley provides a habitat for wild boars, roe deer, hares, wolves and squirrels. The animal species mentioned give the description of the natural environment a specific range of content without reducing the valley to a single landscape aspect.

Culture

The 18th-century parish church of San Esteban de Valdueza preserves a venerated image of the Virgen de Folibar. On Calle Real in San Esteban de Valdueza, a group of manor houses provides another architectural point of reference within the village.

Casa de los Fierro on Calle Real bears a coat of arms. The Puente de San Lázaro is of Roman design. Sacred art, manor houses, a coat of arms and a bridge of Roman design therefore stand alongside one another in San Esteban de Valdueza as different cultural points of reference.
