Nice cozy village, one of the #pueblosmasbonitosdeespaña . Walking on its narrow alleys you will now why it deserved this prize. Highly recommended to take a detour, even if it is not on your route plan, to spend some time wandering around it.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful Romanesque church, with Gothic and Renaissance parts at the foot of the remains of the castle, which hides in its crypt some wonderful Romanesque frescoes, which can only be visited if you do it with the guided tour (lasts 1.15 hours), which on the other hand is quite interesting. Cover that must have been fantastic in its day, but today is very deteriorated due to erosion. (Original) Bonita iglesia románica, con partes góticas y renacentistas al pié de los restos del castillo, que esconde en su cripta unos maravillosos frescos románicos, que solo pueden visitarse si lo haces con la visita guiada (dura 1,15h) , que por otra parte es bastante interesante. Portada que en su día debió ser fantástica, pero que hoy está muy deteriorada por culpa de la erosión.

(Translated by Google) I attach photographs of the entire villa. It seemed like a town with a lot of history, very well cared for. I recommend the guided tour to get to know this picturesque place better. Fernando II was born in this town. All those born in the town were declared Infanzones. A recommended visit, a town declared a Historic-Artistic Site and Asset of Cultural Interest in 1968 and listed as one of the most beautiful towns in Spain. Several series have been filmed and the film La Vaquilla directed by Berlanga and starring Alfredo Landa, Jose Sacristán among others was filmed in its entirety.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful building with a great history. The fact that Sos is located was sold by merchants. On the Camino de Santiago, starting at the end of the 11th century, as a result of the encouragement given by the church to pilgrimages, many improvements were made along the route, including bridges, hostels and hospitals. This flow of people crossing the place towards Santiago attracted a large number of merchants. The fish markets were established, which were wholesale sales centers, and the markets, where merchants sold what they bought or produced. This particular Lonja, of uncertain origin, predates the Town Hall and dates back to the Late Middle Ages. A wonder to enjoy. (Original) Hermoso edificio con una gran historia. El hecho de que Sos se encuentre vendían los comerciantes. en el camino de Santiago hizo que a partir de finales del siglo XI como resultado del impulso dado por la iglesia a los peregrinajes, se realizaran muchas mejoras en el trayecto, incluyendo puentes, albergues y hospitales. ese flujo de personas atravesando el lugar rumbo a Santiago, atrajo a gran número de mercaderes. Se establecían las lonjas, que eran centros de venta mayoristas, y los mercados, donde los comerciantes vendían lo comprado o producido. Esta Lonja en especial, de origen incierto, es anterior a el Ayuntamiento y data de la Baja Edad Media. Una maravilla para disfrutar.

Fascinating story and architecture. There are so many churches, castles, and fortifications around here it is unreal. An active site of tranquility.

(Translated by Google) A renovated palace integrating current elements, the result is functional and very successful. (Original) Un palacio rehabilitado integrando elementos actuales, el resultado es funcional y muy acertado.

(Translated by Google) Starting in the 12th century, in Uncastillo, the Jewish community had its own neighborhood structured around a central axis known as the Carrera Mayor and renamed in 1492 as Barrio Nuevo after its expulsion. It is characterized by being less wide than the neighboring streets of the Christian neighborhoods and converges perpendicularly with narrow alleys, called callizos or gallizos, with or without exit, which serve various purposes such as drainage walkways, connection with the fortress or access to homes. . The neighborhood is a space endowed with a great personality, delimited by portals that were located at both ends of the street, to close the neighborhood when so ordered, as well as small lateral trenches at the forks that lead to the outside. The semicircular voussoir arch that leads to the Valero gallizo and the gaps where the doors were blocked at the southern end of Barrio Nuevo street remain to this day. (Original) A partir del siglo XII, en Uncastillo, la comunidad judía disponía de un barrio propio vertebrado en torno a un eje central conocido como la Carrera Mayor y renombrada en 1492 como Barrio Nuevo después de su expulsión. Se caracteriza por ser de menos anchura que las calles colindantes de los barrios cristianos y confluye perpendicularmente con estrechos callejones, denominados callizos o gallizos, con o sin salida, que cumplen fines diversos como adarves de desagüe, conexión con la fortaleza o acceso a las viviendas. El barrio es un espacio dotado de una gran personalidad, delimitado mediante portales que se situaban en ambos extremos de la calle, para cerrar el barrio cuando así se ordenara, así como pequeños trenques laterales en las bifurcaciones que conducen al exterior. Perdura a día de hoy el arco de medio punto adovelado que emboca con el gallizo de Valero y los huecos donde se atrancaban las puertas en el extremo sur de la calle Barrio Nuevo.

(Translated by Google) Very nice portal. This ancient city, whose origins are lost in time, has several portals that pass through its walls. This one in particular has great personality and is in perfect condition. It is one of the entrances to the town, which limited access for security reasons. The state of conservation is incredible. (Original) Muy bonito portal. Esta antigua ciudad, cuyos orígenes se pierden en el tiempo, tiene varios portales que atraviesan sus muros. Este en especial, tiene gran personalidad y está en perfecto estado. Es una de las entradas al poblado, que limitaban los accesos por un tema de seguridad. Es increíble el estado de conservación.

(Translated by Google) The town hall of Sos, and its inhabitants, pay tribute to the director of the film "Las vaquillas", filmed in this place, for making this tiny town known and recognized, with a history deeply rooted in the birth of Catholic Spain, but that with the passage of time, has been somewhat forgotten. Which is not so bad, perhaps, because mass tourism is not always beneficial for the preservation of heritage records. (Original) El ayuntamiento de Sos, y sus habitantes le rinden homenaje al director de la película "Las vaquillas", rodada en este sitio, por hacer conocer y reconocer a este pequeñísimo poblado, con una historia muy arraigada en el nacimiento de la España Católica, pero que con el paso del tiempo, ha sido algo olvidado.Lo que no es tan malo, tal vez, porque el turismo masivo no siempre es beneficioso para la preservación de los legajos patrimoniales.
