Palacios de la Valduerna sits in the valley of the Rio Duerna. The castle ruins -- the Castillo de los Bazanes -- are visible on approach. Originally built in the 14th century, the castle was partially dismantled on the orders of the Catholic Monarchs as part of their campaign to break the power of the Castilian nobility. What remains is atmospheric enough to justify a brief detour.
A bar and basic services are available in the village.
