Hinojosa De Duero: Cycling Routes, Cultural Heritage and Cheese

Hinojosa De Duero brings together mountain biking routes, historic buildings, collections and the tradition of Queso Arribes. You can decide for yourself which of these themes to focus on when planning your trip.

Mountain biking routes and practical information

Eight mountain biking routes start at the Centro BTT de Hinojosa de Duero, with more than 130 kilometres of signposted trails in total. The routes are classified by difficulty. You can use this rating to make your choice; also check the condition of the routes and the signage on site. The centre provides information about the trail network, its signage and other attractions. Facilities and services include public toilets, a bike-washing station, a small repair workshop and ongoing telephone assistance. Check the availability of individual services before your trip.

Churches and views of the Arribes del Duero

The Iglesia Parroquial de San Pedro dates from the 16th century and has four Baroque altarpieces. The Ermita del Cristo de la Misericordia, also known as the “Parroquia Vieja,” served as the parish church until around the middle of the 16th century. The date of construction and the altarpieces offer specific points of reference for understanding San Pedro; the Ermita’s former role as a parish church is part of its history. It also has a viewpoint overlooking the Arribes del Duero. The architectural history of the two churches and the views of the Arribes are therefore distinct themes to consider when planning your trip.

Collections at the Museo interpretativo del Duero

The Museo interpretativo del Duero displays Roman funerary steles and other archaeological objects. A youth room adds miniature cars and trains, objects from the former Teleclub and a large model railway to the collection. The archaeological pieces and miniatures thus offer different ways to explore the museum’s collections. A visit to the museum can be complemented by a tour of a restored former oil mill. The collection spans everything from Roman funerary steles to objects from the former Teleclub.

Queso Arribes and the cheese fair

Hinojosa de Duero has a strong tradition of making Queso Arribes, a product bearing the Marca de Garantía designation. The cheese is made from raw sheep’s milk using traditional methods. The Feria Internacional del Queso de Hinojosa de Duero features exhibitions, tastings and workshops; the programme may vary from one edition to another. If you plan to include the Feria in your trip, check the programme for the relevant edition in advance.
