The importance of the Duero in the Soria capital of the Ribera del Duero is enormous, and if not, just ask the great 16-span stone bridge that spans it. It is located right on the long-distance footpath (known as GR-14) in its stages 7 and 8.

Upstream from “El Sotillo” (the capricious islet that the Duero draws as it passes through this municipality), the people of San Estebe can enjoy two bathing areas before a breakwater formed by large blocks of stone and concrete that tame the “beast”:

“La Alameda” ( left bank), is a mixed beach of sand and stone protected by a dense grove of trees, with rest areas, tables and barbecues.

On the opposite bank, “La Rambla” (right bank) is a small area also for relaxation, which also has a pair of stairs to enter and exit the water, overcoming the small difference in level formed by the river and the pedestrian walkway.

A little further upstream, a jetty allows canoeists easy access to the river.

IMPORTANT:

This river beach that we present to you is declared as suitable for bathing by the census of the Junta de Castilla y León (dated 2021).
