A fantastic place for a long and easy walk in a beutiful scenary, with the river, the canyon and lots of vultures.Stunning scenery! Hoces del Rio Duratón Natural Park (Spanish: Parque Natural de las Hoces del Río Duratón) is a natural park of 5,037 hectares 1,2 km West from Sepúlveda, Segovia. Its name refers to the Duratón River. "Las Hoces" refers to the series of 100m high gorges that were formed by the Duratón. Saint Fructus (San Frutos) established himself here as a hermit in the 8th century; a monastery dedicated to him also exists within the park. The park encompasses the towns of Sepúlveda, Sebúlcor and Carrascal del Río. It is home to a population of griffon vultures,along with Egyptian vultures, common kestrels, and peregrine falcons.
