KEEP IN MIND:
Taking the CM 110 from Atienza to Sigüenza is a much more sensible
option if it’s been raining recently, since the path between Santamera and
La Olmeda may be impassable due to mud and clay.
WHAT TO SEE:
Although it’s not possible to visit the salt works at Olmeda, you can take a
wander through the abandoned town of Bujalcayado, which lies uphill from
the salt flats. The scarcely-inhabited town has a very good fountain in the
centre; wandering the grassy streets gives you a real appreciation of how
important salt production must have been two hundred years ago, if it
housed so many people and had a relatively large church.
The best place to have a post-ride drink, hands down, is the Parador – it’s
worth the walk uphill to have a drink among its fourteenth-century walls!
WHERE TO SLEEP
Sigüenza has a decent number of hotels, including a parador (state-run
luxury hotel) and several other options. We stayed at (and enjoyed the
cuisine of) Hostal-Restaurante El Doncel, which has space in the parking
garage for bicycles (well worth the €6 for peace of mind.)
