🇪🇸 Soria Day Trip | A Poetic Spanish Town ✨📖

After reading Bécquer’s Rimas and the famous legend Monte de Ánimas, plus a bookstore owner’s tip about Soria’s poetry statues, I rushed to the train station that night for a spontaneous trip—zero regrets! 🌸 A Walk Through Poetry Strolled along the Duero River, pausing at bronze verses embedded in streets and squares. Each statue whispered lines from Spanish poets, turning the town into an open-air anthology. Visited the grave of Leonor, wife of 98 Generation poet Antonio Machado, in a stunning cemetery. The withered elm tree from his masterpiece "A Un Olmo Seco" still stands by Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Espino. 🌲 Missed But Not Forgotten Monte de Ánimas (Bécquer’s haunted hill) – Skipped due to sore feet, but locals swear by its mystical views. Monasterio de San Juan de Duero – Closed on Sundays (my timing fail 😅). 📜 Why Poets Loved Soria ✔️ Riverbanks that inspire sonnets ✔️ Silent streets where verses linger ✔️ A melancholic beauty Machado called "so old, so gray, so holy" #SpainTravel #LiteraryWanderlust #HiddenSpain #CastillaYLeon
