On the border between the provinces of Valladolid and Segovia, the historic town of Cuéllar located next to the Cega River is full of heritage. Standing on top of a hill above the town is the 11th century defensive castle. It is worth going up to see the incredible views of the town surrounded by cereal fields.

Cuéllar is one of those towns that has special characteristics, a castle that hovers over one end of the town and that looks like something out of a movie. Huge walls and towers!

Rolling along the path of Las Lomas on the southwest flank of the beautiful castle of Cuéllar, I come across the Santo Domingo tower, an artillery tank that is part of the historical complex declared a national historical monument in 1934, and since 1985 subject to the category of Property of Cultural Interest.
