Cardeñuela Riopico
Village
Cardeñuela Riopico, in the Alfoz de Burgos, is a small hamlet of 106 inhabitants crossed by the river Pico and by the French Camino de Santiago, with Villalval as a hamlet of its own. It belonged to the old Jurisdicción de Burgos under an abbatial regime, dependent on the Monastery of Benitos de Cardeña and governed by a pedáneo mayor. Its population, which had been growing during the 19th century, began a decline from the 1920s onward, common to most Spanish villages, until hitting bottom in 1991 with only 70 registered inhabitants; since then, thanks to its proximity to the provincial capital of Burgos, it has managed to double its population. The church of Santa Eulalia de Mérida preserves an important altarpiece by Felipe de Vigarny, fully restored in 2021.
