Covarrubias is situated near to Mecerreyes, Cubillo del Campo and Hortigüela in the valley of the river Arlanza, which is extensively wooded with among other species Spanish juniper. Part of the area belonging to the municipality is included within a Special Protection Area for birds such as vultures. The river is used for swimming and canoeing.

It has a mild climate.

The village was founded in the 7th century AD by the Visigothic king Chindasuinth. One of the first areas to be reconquered from the Moors in the late ninth century, Covarrubias had an influence on Castile and its language.

Its cuisine includes black pudding, grapes (Arlanza (DO)), and cherries.

Markets and local produce

Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.

We haven't confirmed Covarrubias's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
