The best MTB trails around Santa Engracia Del Jubera

Next to Leza de Río Leza, with easy and very nice access for gravel from Ribafrecha

A beautiful little village, but you'll have to climb some inclines to get here. Don't get confused, the windmills are not actually in this village!

Reaching this abandoned village requires you to do some steep climbing. The ruins are fascinating. You'll find the remains of houses, a church, and even the town fountain. Not all of the ruins are accessible but you can enter as if you were walking into town. I recommend proceeding with caution, I don't think anyone is keeping track of the state of the ruins. I poked my head into one of the ruined houses and found it full of cow bones. Definitely a creepy spot but one worth visiting if you're willing to make the climb.

It is located in the Leza Valley, between Leza on the Leza River and Soto en Cameros. Fairly quiet road and very busy with cyclists throughout the year. Sitting and watching the flight of the vultures in the canyon is a privilege.
