The province of Soria is one of the most mountainous districts in Spain. Located centrally over the Sistema Iberico mountain range in Castilla y Leon, the province is home to some dramatic landscapes, which have long given inspiration to Spanish artists and poets. Lakes, forests, deep valleys and spectacular rock formations await all those who buy Spanish property in this region.
Soria's mountain climate is cool and dry, offering welcome relief from the scorching plains around Madrid to the Southwest. For six months of the year snow is likely to lay over the highest mountain peaks in Soria, while many of the towns and villages experience several falls of snow throughout the winter. Indeed, many of the main highway routes in the area are lined with tall markers so drivers can identify the path of the road when snow has fallen.
Soria City is the capital of the province and the main hub of leisure and commerce in the area. Situated next to the River Duero, Soria City offers many architectural gems, one of the most spectacular being the Cathedral of San Pedro, with its Gothic-style nave. In the heart of the city, Soria's past comes alive. Beautiful Romanesque structures line its medieval streets, as do some exquisite examples of Renaissance-style architecture.
Throughout Soria province there are numerous opportunities to acquire historical Spanish property as well as rural farmhouses, fincas and chalets. Near Abejar in the west of the region buyers can find lakeside Soria property, while in La Dehesa de Moron, Soria property buyers could purchase a villa in Spain close to an 18-hole golf course.
