Here you will find a small town surrounded by agricultural fields. Just outside the city, there is a monument to the pilots of Spain. It is a real retired military aircraft. In the other direction you will find a monument to cyclist Lance Armstrong.

This town dates back to pre-Roman times and it seems that not much has changed here in many years. The Baltanás Wineries are the most popular site in the city but the church of San Millán, the Hermitage of Nuestra Señora de Revilla and the Hermitage of San Gregorio are also important places to visit.

The agricultural lands surrounding the town are mostly dedicated to the cultivation of vines, which means that there are several wineries in the area. An interesting place to visit is the church dedicated to Saint Mary which has undergone several restructurings in the 16th and 17th centuries.

The town is located at the foot of the open and wide valley. The area is steeped in history, including artifacts from the Bronze Age and a Roman villa, dating back to between the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. Surrounded by beautiful fields and pretty trails, it's a fun place to visit by bike.
