On the route of the Via Verde Valle del Eresma, at kilometer 49 towards Medina del Campo, and passing through Nava de la Asunción, a stop is mandatory for the walker or cyclist in consideration of what meets his gaze at this point. It is striking to come across figures carved in wood that represent the direction of the winds to stay where they blow. They reflect the knowledge that education provides to people to free them from the constraints of economic and religious systems that can limit freedom, folk stories, storks that open doors to information, birds of prey that pay homage to resin craftsmanship, life in a game of chess, fantasy turtles, greyhounds and hares and tubs of water tuned with sentences to read and analyze their content. In short, they are eleven works of art that invite us to reflect on the environment, with social messages, It is the work of many hours of dedication, taking advantage of the days of the pandemic and occupying the mind in offering the landscape an artistic aspect that serves as a call to attention for the inhabitants of Nava, to form a team of volunteers who take on the commitment to take care of the over five hundred tree and shrub plantations that cover the six hundred meters of this Greenway route. This is the objective desired by the author of the sculptures, Manuel Frías Trampal. “It is environmental awareness to enjoy a welcoming natural landscape over time. To do this, you just need to sponsor any of the planted tree species and dedicate your name to it.

Beautiful castle that is located in the town of Coca and that seems to be part of a movie castle.

The Mudejar Tower of San Nicolás is the only remainder of the old homonymous church that was left in ruins in the 18th century. With some difficulty, you can access the highest part, where there is an excellent viewpoint of the town.

The castle is undoubtedly what stands out the most in this town, although the watchtower is also worth a visit. The guided tour of the castle will simply show us its attractions and is especially fun for the little ones. In the town we will find restaurants, shops and accommodation if necessary

This section of the greenway runs between the typical cereal fields of the Castilian plateau and especially of the Segovian countryside region. It is pleasant at all times of the year but especially in spring when the fields are green and the red of the poppies stands out among the greenery.

Olmedo is known as the town of the seven sevens, a curious name with which it was renamed because in addition to having seven access doors, it had seven squares, seven churches, seven fountains, seven convents, seven houses of nobles and seven towns. who depended on her. Another curious thing is its toponymy. You can imagine that the name of Olmedo comes from elm and it is that the town was surrounded by these trees. Now not a single one remains, since they disappeared when the graphiosis took them away. But if Olmedo is known for something, it is for its knight, a tragicomedy of love and death that Lope de Vega immortalized in his play “El Caballero de Olmedo”. The story that would inspire Lope had its origin in a popular legend from the 16th century based on the quarrels between two neighbors of the town that led to a murder. One charged another when he came from a bullfight in Medina del Campo.
