The suggested trip starts in the community of Wamba. The name comes from the Gothic King’s homonymous from the 7th century, as it is believed that he was crowned in this place, particularly in the Visigothic church that preceded the present  Mozarabic church of the 10th century, St. María, which is probably the first church in that style in the area.

The next stop in the journey is the town of Urueña, where the Romanesque church of La Anunciada is found, being one of the most interesting buildings of the Castile-Leon Romanesque for its Romaneasque style with Lombard ornamentation, more likely found in regions like Catalonia and Aragón.

The trip finishes in St. Cebrián de Mazote, where the Mozarabic church of St. Cipriano -from the 10th century- is found. This temple is considered the largest one built in this period and its structure seems a compendium of the most remarkable characteristics of the Spanish Pre Romanesque architecture that has reached our days.
