On the left bank of the river Riaza (a tributary of the Duero) is Milagros, where a Roman villa was founded during the Lower Empire (3rd to 5th centuries). History gradually favoured the presence of the population until 1833, when it became a municipality with its own town council.

This riverside town in Burgos is only 12 kilometres from Aranda. The most outstanding building in the village is the Santa María del Milagro Parish Church, located in the main square. It is a Baroque church with a nave and two cross-shaped chapels with stone arches and moulded plaster vaults and dome. Although it is not very old, it has been recently refurbished, bringing out the beauty of its stone walls and wooden buttresses. Its tower, with twelve loopholes or windows, houses the clock and the storks.

The aforementioned river Riaza leaves, as it passes through Milagros, a magnificent natural and recreational area which, in good weather, even allows bathers to take a dip in its river beach. Likewise, its banks are ideal for hiking with the Riberas del Riaza Trail. In Milagros you can also see one of the unique trees of the Ribera del Duero, the Sabina Albar de la Rinconada.

The protagonist of Milagros is the painter José Vela Zanetti, who was born in this village in 1913. An artist who travelled halfway around the world with his art and who ended up buying his birthplace, declared an “Asset of Cultural Interest” in 1997.

Milagros maintains the feast of San Antonio Abad (January), which is completed with the feast of the “Manda” on the following Sunday, although the main one is the feast of the Nativity of the Virgin (September). In addition, in the months of July and August, important cultural activities have been held for many years, culminating in the popular“Cultural Summer” of Milagros.

The local name for Milagros is: milagreños.
