Caleruega, in the province of Burgos and in the heart of the Ribera del Duero, is one of the most beautiful villages in the area and stands out for its great historical and spiritual value, as it is the birthplace of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, founder of the Dominicans. The most interesting thing is to walk through its stone old town and visit the Dominican monumental complex, formed by the Royal Monastery of Santo Domingo (on the site where the saint was born), the convent and the Guzmanes tower, as well as the church of San Sebastián, where he was baptized.

About three kilometers southwest of Silos lies a gorge also known as Desfiladero de la Yecla. A footpath leads through the deep cut in the limestone cliffs, whose valley floor the sun barely reaches. Colonies of griffon vultures and other birds of prey live in this adventurous landscape.

The gorge is nice to walk through since some walls have a verticality of 50m and we can also see vultures. The walk to Santo Domingo runs along a track with no problems for both walking and cycling except for the gorge itself.
