Cabezón de Pisuerga

Image of Cabezón de Pisuerga, not of the place itself.

In 1556, on his way into retirement at Yuste, Emperor Carlos V stopped in Cabezón de Pisuerga to meet his grandson, the future Don Carlos; the bridge over the Pisuerga made the place an obligatory crossing point for the court heading north.
