Serrada: Wine Landscape, Culture and Holiday Apartments

Serrada combines wine country and local culture in a tangible way. The PR-VA 45 Sendero Entre Viñas is a linear, 7.6-kilometre hiking trail with a low level of difficulty, for which approximately 1.5 hours on foot are estimated; it runs from Bodegas de Serrada to Serrada. The combination of route length, difficulty and approximate walking time makes it easier to schedule a leg of the route.

Nature

Serrada’s agriculturally shaped wine country contributes to the production of quality wine in the D.O. Rueda. Those who want to weigh up different priorities when planning can consider the trail as an activity and winegrowing as a separate topic.

Culture

The Iglesia Parroquial de San Pedro in Serrada is classified as an asset of cultural interest (Bien de Interés Cultural) in the monument category. The Museo de Pintura y Escultura al Aire Libre de Serrada integrates murals and sculptures into the urban landscape along the Paseo del Arte. On the outskirts of the town stands the Ermita de la Virgen de la Moya on the site of a former settlement; it is the seat of the Cofradía de Nuestra Señora de la Virgen de la Moya.

The sculpture “San Miguel Arcángel” by Gregorio Fernández can be seen in the Museo Parroquial. Liturgical silverware is also housed there. Serrada therefore brings together a listed monument, public art, a sacred site and museum exhibits as distinct cultural topics.

Traditions

On 1 May, a Romería takes place in Serrada to the Ermita de La Moya. In October, Serrada celebrates the Fiesta de la Vendimia. At the XLI Fiesta de la Vendimia, the ritual “Quema de la madre” was performed; it symbolises the end of the previous harvest. The different months make it possible to plan around a spring or autumn event.

Food and Drink

Val de Vid has been a quality winery based in Serrada since 1996. In winemaking, Val de Vid combines advanced technology with traditional methods to produce white wines and Verdejo wines. Quesería Campoveja produces an artisan Castilian cheese made from raw sheep’s milk. For culinary planning, winemaking and cheesemaking stand side by side as two clearly distinct topics.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Serrada, you can first compare travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions on the respective offer pages. Which details take priority for you can be aligned with your own interests: the trail, local culture, festival dates, wine or cheese.
