Discover Quintanilla Del Rebollar

Quintanilla Del Rebollar brings together hiking trails, landscapes, and architectural heritage. The Casa del Parque de Ojo Guareña is a visitor reception center in Quintanilla del Rebollar. Its viewpoint is equipped with binoculars and information panels to help identify significant landscape features. Several hiking trails start at the Casa.

Hiking trails from the Casa del Parque

The linear Sendero de Sotoscueva starts at the Casa del Parque. The circular PRC-BU-37 El Hayal de Quintanilla also starts and ends there. The PRC-BU-38 Caminos de la Sonsierra, which is also a circular route, can start at the Casa and is 17.12 kilometers long.

These trails differ in route type, which can help you choose your excursion: one is linear, while two are circular; the length of 17.12 kilometers is an additional specific reference point for Caminos de la Sonsierra. El Hayal passes near the Refugio del Pico del Ángel. The Sendero de Sotoscueva also provides access on foot to the Cueva-ermita de San Bernabé.

PRC-BU-40 Entre desfiladeros offers another perspective on the landscape. The route passes through two gorges carved into the limestone by water from the Montes del Somo. Here, geological formations take center stage, while on the trails from the Casa del Parque, route, circular layout, and named destinations are the main points of reference.

Nature and regional character

The botanical route through the Vivero Forestal de Quintanilla del Rebollar showcases the variety of species cultivated there throughout its history. In 1992, the Vivero became an arboretum. The route and the site's history thus combine a view of plant diversity with its designation as an arboretum.

The Ojo Guareña karst complex lies in the wider area around Quintanilla del Rebollar. It extends for more than 100 kilometers and is one of the most extensive cave systems on the Iberian Peninsula. Quintanilla del Rebollar is one of the 23 settlements in the Ojo Guareña Natural Monument. The village is therefore shaped both by its own hiking and nature attractions and by its inclusion in this regional protected area.

Churches and local culture

The Iglesia de San Clemente Papa y Mártir is a Renaissance church. Its architectural features include a nave, a side chapel, stone arches, vaults built using the Encamonada technique, and a molded eaves cornice. The Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Rebollar adds another perspective on local architectural history: its nave was originally single-aisled. San Clemente is notable for several specific architectural features, while Nuestra Señora del Rebollar is distinguished by its original floor plan.

On Plaza Mediavilla, the traditional Fuente-Abrevadero-Lavadero de Quintanilla del Rebollar hydraulic complex combines three functions: a drinking-water fountain, a livestock watering trough, and a washhouse. The site can thus be understood as a combination of different water-related uses.

The local culture in summer is also part of Quintanilla del Rebollar's character: children regularly play Bolos there in summer. Roblón de Ulemas is listed as tree number 52 in Quintanilla del Rebollar. Together with the churches, hydraulic complex, and trails, these features offer different ways to explore the village—from architecture and local life to nature and landscape.
