Thailand DiCaprio's forbidden beach in 'The Beach' is once again within reach of the traveler today
Its first inhabitants thought that the great 15 meter high arch could not be more than a work of God.
Hence the name of this town of about 45 inhabitants among the valleys and meadows in the amazing
Burgos region of Las Merindades,
which has just entered the network of the most beautiful Villages in Spain.
Puentedey is the only municipality of the 22 that have been presented that has managed to overcome the more than 40 criteria required to enter this organization, already with
105 members
. "I want to welcome Puentedey to the club. They have been improving infrastructures for several years to be able to be members of the Network and they have finally been admitted. I am sure that belonging to our association will allow them to enter the first division of tourism that is growing the most. in recent years ", declared Francisco Mestre, president of the association.
The most famous image of Puentedey is undoubtedly that of
the natural bridge.
However, it is not the only thing to admire in this town that keeps vestiges of all its history among its streets and has interesting
manor houses and popular buildings
.
We must highlight the
church of San Pelayo
, a Romanesque construction with a single limestone nave that has an impost decorated with checkered, rhombuses and an undulating stem sheltering leaves at the base of the vault.
The most interesting element is
the cover,
where a man armed with a shield and sword is represented who faces a reptile.
The second outstanding building is of a civil order, and is known as
the Brizuela Palace,
which is fortified almost until it takes the form of a castle and was built between the 15th and 16th centuries, at the highest point of the Puentedey natural arch.
Burgos is a town where tranquility runs through its streets, except at the end of summer, where neighbors and visitors put
the cucaña
to
the
test
in the patron saint festivities,
trying to reach a flag that is found on top of a slippery log, to be crowned, king of parties.
In recent times many efforts have been made, such as the rehabilitation of the
old bread oven,
the old mill, as well as the shoe rack and a small bowling museum, the new parking areas outside the town, the area of caravans and the new viewpoint of San Andrés, suspended in the air and offering another not-so-well-known panorama of Puentedey. These are investments that the municipality has made in the search for excellence and beauty to enhance its municipality.
