The Jurassic World of Regumiel de la Sierra

Paraphrasing one of the most famous phrases of Paul Eluard, a French poet close to Surrealism, visiting this small town of Burgos, any alert traveler can have the certain feeling that, in effect: there were other worlds, but their traces still continue to surprise us in this.

Between Duruelo de la Sierra, the last town in Soria and Regumiel de la Sierra, the first in Burgos on this border between the two communities, there is barely an insignificant distance, especially if we measure it in miles or kilometers.

But, paradoxically, this distance constitutes an abyss, measured in millions of years, which are, neither more nor less, those that separate the time of the dinosaurs from those first Christian settlements that left evidence of their passage in Duruelo de la Sierra.

Although the terrible reproductions of those superb saurians, whose resurrection the brilliant Steven Spielberg presented to us before Artificial Intelligence reached the heights it has today, are still precisely that, reproductions, the numerous icnites or traces left by these draconian nightmare beings, are a living and at the same time terrifying testimony of those times, which, millions and millions of years later, still make us feel, with the weight of their fateful testimony, that we are treading that same ground , mysterious and remote, where life, following the patterns of a wild Evolution, was making its way with all the force of its beauty, but also, with all the force of its tragedy.

A terrain that, by the way, while retaining a beauty similar to those unknown times, continues to speak, through its vestiges, of uninterrupted life, evolution and tragedy, throughout a monumental text, which, despite although it is called History, it still has many blank chapters.

Seeing, captured in the rock, the deeply marked footprints of those titans of a lost world, is impressive, causing an involuntary shiver, imagining their colossal size and how deadly they could become, not only their powerful jaws, but also their steely claws.

Regumiel, therefore, in addition to being a peaceful town, located in a privileged environment, ideal, above all, for hiking and adventure sports, it is also a remarkable repository of History.

A History, as old as the world, which, despite everything, has not yet said the last word about it.
