The Sierra de la Demanda is a singular mountain system, which rises to the South-East of the province of Burgos. In the shade of its majestic and almost always snow-covered mountain tops a series of landscape and human elements are combined, making the area into an attractive natural and tourist paradise.

Next to some luxuriant and extensive woods an unending succession of glacier origin lakes are located. Next to the curious sites of marks of dinosaurs and fossil trees one can visit the greatest concentration of necropolis and high-mediaeval hermitages in Europe.

And leading an unrepeatable group of Romanesque porches there are many villages loaded down with a rich popular heritage based on three fundamental pillars: the transhumance of the “merino” sheep, the age-old activity and forest work.
