Lerma is a beautiful Castilian city located 199 kms from Madrid on the highway to Burgos. The city was constructed on the top of a hill with great views of the Arlanza Valley and River.
The city reached it´s splendour during the 1,700´s under the reign of the first Duke of Lerma (Francisco Gomez de Sandoval y Rojas) a favourite of the King Philiph III of Spain. The main feauture of the city is the Palacio Ducal located at the Plaza Mayor, but also has some other interesting churchs and convents.
It´s my favourite stop when i´m driving from Madrid to Bilbao, there are some good restaurants at the Plaza Mayor.
