Image of El Royo, not of the place itself.

The Vega Cintora is the river plain formed by the Duero as it crosses the north of the province of Soria, between the Sierra de Carcaña and the Sierra del Portillo, and gives its name to half of the El Valle y La Vega Cintora district. It comprises the villages of Derroñadas, El Royo, Hinojosa de la Sierra, Langosto and Vilviestre de los Nabos, while El Valle, watered by the river Razón, is popularly known as the Little Switzerland of Soria for its greenery and is the birthplace of Soria butter, which holds a protected designation of origin. El Royo, the district's chief town, stands at 1,070 metres above sea level and overlooks 127 square kilometres of territory.
