What to see and do in Suellacabras

Suellacabras
Village
Suellacabras is a municipality in the province of Soria, in Castile and León, situated in the north of the province, in the comarca of Tierras Altas, bathed by tributaries of the río Mayor between the Almuerzo and Madero sierras; the río Alhama rises within its territory. It has 32 inhabitants, in addition to the settlement of El Espino, where the Romanesque church of San Benito stands, from the 12th and 13th centuries. During the Middle Ages it belonged to the Comunidad de Villa y Tierra de Magaña and was later a lordship of the Duke of Alba. Its depopulated Iberian site has been declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection), with the category of archaeological zone, since 1931. It celebrates San Isidro Labrador on 15 May and the Virgen de la Blanca, its patron saint, on 5 August.
The abandoned Iberian settlement of Suellacabras
Curiosity
The Iberian-period site of the municipal district has been protected since 1931, one of the earliest declarations in the province, and documents a settlement two millennia older than the present village.
The church of El Salvador
Monument
The village's Gothic parish church, accompanied by the hermitage of the Virgen de la Blanca, still standing, and by that of San Caprasio, raised in 1643 and today ruined in the middle of the fields, far from the houses.
The Romanesque church of El Espino
Monument
The quarter of El Espino, which in 2010 had three inhabitants, preserves a Romanesque church of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries as well as several hermitages, a heritage out of all proportion to its present population.
The source of the Alhama river
Nature
The Alhama, a right-bank tributary of the Ebro, rises in the Sierra del Almuerzo, within the municipality of Suellacabras, between that range and the Sierra del Madero, in a municipality whose elevations range from 1,003 to 1,557 metres, all of it mountainous terrain. From its source it runs 84 kilometres northeast, crossing Soria, La Rioja and Navarre before flowing into the Ebro at Alfaro. Its name comes from the Arabic al hamma, “thermal bath”, referring to the thermal waters that join it at several points along its course, especially around the baths of Fitero.
The district of the Duke of Alba
Historical milestone
The counts of that century speak of the partido of Suellacabras, a group of places under the jurisdiction of the Duke of Alba; the census of 1842 counted here 302 people in seventy-five households.
