Tiny fortified hilltop settlement in Soria, Castile and León, Calatañazor takes its name from the Arabic for "Castle of Vultures" and was the site of the 1002 Battle of Calatañazor — a valley below still called el valle de la sangre (the Valley of Blood). The surrounding area holds a nature reserve of Spanish juniper trees, some of the largest on the Iberian Peninsula, and the Fuentona de Muriel, a spring fed by an underground river that draws cave divers. Nearby Cueva Maja contains rock drawings around 4,000 years old.
