Bayubas de Abajo
Bayubas de Abajo is a small village in the southwest of Soria.
The town is situated in a picturesque location between the valleys of the Duero and the Bayubas River, which gives its name to the town.
The economy of this village has been based on the extraction of resin since time immemorial, with the village situated in a vast expanse of pine forest.
It is with great sadness that we must acknowledge the tragic history of Bayubas de Abajo during the 20th century. In the summer of 1936, numerous executions were carried out in the town of Bayubas de Abajo of people opposed to the Franco regime that would later be established.
The municipality includes part of the banks of the Duero River and its tributaries, which are designated as a Site of Community Interest (SCI) within the Natura 2000 Network.
The area boasts a rich historical heritage, including the ruins of a Muslim watchtower, known as Taina de la Hoz, which provides a visual link with the Castle of Gormaz and the watchtowers of Morales, Vadorrey and Aguilera.
The parish church in honour of the Assumption of the Virgin, of Romanesque origin and reformed in the 18th century, and the chapel of Santa Águeda are also worthy of note.
Both in Bayubas de Abajo and in the nearby village of Aguilera, there is evidence of Roman villas.
The fiestas in Bayubas de Abajo are held on 4 February and 12 August, while in Aguilera they are on 6 May.
