It is located on the high course of the river Cidacos, by the slope of the mountain range of Sierra Alba. It is divided in two neighbourhoods: Somero and Bajero, which are located on the precipitous slope of the Travesas, and are a good example of the local traditional architecture. Short climbing streets with houses made of stone, with small windows and double doors. On the top side of the town lies the threshing floor.

Just in between of the two neighbourhoods, there is the parish church of Nuestra Señora del Socorro, built in the 18th century. There are poplar groves along the river Cidacos. On the other side of the river, the grazing lands of Manquillo and Prados Camengos. From there, you can reach the top of the hill where a wide 12-15 Has-hollywood grows among the Cebosa, Espino de la tía Basilia and Monte Llano. The Eastern Royal Cattle Track of Soria runs along the crest of the mountain. In the stream Santo you can enjoy some embossed footprints -not well preserved but very interesting- of a Sauropod dinosaur. This archaeological site is called El Santo.

And the source of the river Cidacos -tributary of the river Ebro.

Ledrado - It is located by the southeast Ledrados Hill side. From its privileged location, you can see the whole of the Montes Claros mountain, the pastures, the oak, holly and pine-wood, and the hermitage of the Madonna of Ayuso from above. The structure and architecture of the village is very well preserved. Along the Barrancazo stream side there is a remarkable resting place which is part of the central path of the Royal Cattle Track at the top of La Modorra. Festivities: 24th June, the night of San Juan.

Villaseca Somera

Los Campos - Located by the San Cristóbal hill side, close to the source of the river Cidacos. Wide pastures draw the scenery, as well as some hollywoods such as Los Horcajos, Matacebos and Cebosa, under the shadow of the mountain range of Sierra Montes Claros. The Royal Cattle Track runs along this transhumant village over the crest of the mountains and through the pastures.

When coming into the village, you can see a fountain with a water trough and the small church of Santa Elena, whose Romanesque apse was restored in the Nineteenth century.

The site called Salgar de Silas is located on the other side of the river, one of the most amazing sites of the region, with footprints of big Sauropod dinosaurs among others. Some other footprints are placed in the southern field of Revillejas.

Festival: Santa Elena and San Roque, 19th and 20th August.

Valloria - It is located on the bottom of the mountain range of Sierra Alba. Among its several architectural samples, it is notable the bridge over the Valle stream, next to the fountain built up by the Ex-community called Villa y Tierra (Town and Ground).

The San Bartolomé y Santo Tomás Apóstol church, entirely rebuilt in recent times, has a Romanesque baptismal font inside.

Following the ancient tradition, on the day of Saint Marcus (25th April) an image is exchanged between Valloria and Las Aldehuelas, together with a document that represents the Harmony between these two towns.

Several cattle tracks cross this town: Resting place from La Modorra to Garagüeta via Vizmanos (Cordel de los Quemados), the Eastern Royal Cattle Track of Soria that runs from La Modorra and Zanquiles to Cayo and the pass called Campos, on top of the mountain range of Sierra Alba and the crest of Montes Claros.

The Hoya Condesa oak word is remarkable.

In the old way to San Pedro Manrique there is a very interesting, embossed ichnites site. Some other footprints are on the bed of the river that crosses the town.

The festivity of San Bartolomé, 24th and 25th August and the festivity of San Marcos the 25th April.
