Ortigosa de Pestaño
Village
Ortigosa de Pestaño is a village in the province of Segovia, with about 51 inhabitants and a name that recalls the nettle-covered surroundings that once encircled it. Its railway station, opened in 1888 with the Segovia–Medina del Campo line and closed in 1993 due to its low profitability, has appeared on the Lista Roja del Patrimonio en Peligro (a civil-society registry of heritage at risk in Spain) since November 2024. In the site known as La Lámpara or El Pato, Palaeolithic and post-Palaeolithic engravings are preserved, and the Baroque parish church of San Cristóbal holds an altarpiece by the Segovian cabinetmaker and carver Francisco Martín, who also made the carving of the titular saint. The main festival, in honour of San Cristóbal, is held on 25 July.
