Hiking trails run along the river. The place Calatañazor impresses with its partly medieval flair; in its vicinity is the Romanesque hermit church Ermita de Soledad . An area ( Sabinar de Calatañazor ) to protect the mostly six to ten meter high trees of the Spanish juniper ( Juniperus thurifera ) is designated northwest of the place .
Others
The headwaters of the Río Milanos was also the end of one of the many sheep migration routes ( cañadas ) in northern Spain. Some sheep and goats were brought here from Andalusia and Extremadura , where they found sufficient food in the summer months. The upper reaches of the Río Milanos is also considered to be a good fishing area.
