The river here has dual nationalities, but a single European identity, one of the most Mediterranean regions overlooking the Atlantic. Old paths, parallel to the river, cherished by a riverside population for centuries, alternate with traditional architectural buildings, both delicate and solid.
Peering into the spectacular canyon formed by the Duero River, with its deep rocky cliffs and Mediterranean forests, will captivate you. The inaccessibility and the enclaves of great beauty and spectacular landscapes create an area of unique natural value.
As a result of the construction of the dams, the vertical walls cradle the bed of a river that no longer roars as it once did, giving these canyons their gentle character. The river weaves itself between granite masses that force one to look skyward.
The route
Guided boat tour aboard our vessel in Arribes del Duero . The electric boat allows you to experience the experience in silence and without emissions. The absence of noise provides a unique experience. Participants can chat peacefully, without the hassle of the engine and noise pollution. There are no odors or emissions of any kind; just water, scenery, nature, and good company.
The trip is a quiet boat ride through the section of the Arribes del Duero natural park of the Castro dam, through the area between the Paraje de los Pueyos where it is possible to see chicks and adults of protected birds, although some are camouflaged by the colors of the rocks, the Requejo Bridge , an extraordinary work of engineering, more than a century old, over the Duero River, and Peña Blanca , where we visit the old Dorinda Mine , a tin extraction site until March 1977 and which had two levels of exploitation.
A route of approximately 2 hours that brings us closer to the geological and mining remains of the area, visiting the interior of a mine and bird watching, sailing under the famous Requejo Bridge .
