Continue north on the N-110 to Cabezuela del Valle, riverside village notable for its old Jewish quarter “La Aldea” and its quaint, arcaded plaza. From here, we can branch off into the surrounding valleys, either by car or, in keeping with the destination, on horseback (but don’t forget your bathing suit). Picadero Los Pilones will saddle up its horses for a guided foray through two of the most popular routes in the valleys, the route of the Emperor Carlos V (covered later) and the route to the Parque Natural La Garganta de los Infiernos. This trip costs 15 Euro per person and consists of a two-hour ride through oak and chestnut trees along winding mountain trails strewn with mountain goats. It ends with a splash in the park’s natural lagoons, called Los Pilones. The Parque Natural La Garganta de los Infiernos can also be reached by car, though the lagoons are only accessible via a sign-posted foot trail. From Palencia the N-110 leads north and passes by the park 30 minutes later. Brown park signs mark the exit. From Hervas in the Ambrose Valley, take the N-360 east.
