Soneja is a municipality in the Alto Palancia region about 12 km from Navajas and is situated to the right of the Palancia river, on a plain surrounded by mountains. It is an enclave with elements of great environmental value where we find the Municipal Natural Site of La Dehesa* and with important urban elements such as fountains, drinking troughs and washing places.

Strolling through the old quarter of Soneja, with its classic Moorish layout, we can visit the Old Palace of the Montellano family, the Museum Collection of Plaster and the Parish Church of San Miguel Arcángel, an 18^th century temple with a very old and valuable set of bells. We can also visit the Hermitage of San Francisco Javier, from the 17^th century, together with the Hermitage of `Cristo de la Providencia´.

During the visit we can also visit the remains of the 19^th century Carlist Wall and enjoy the town’s hydraulic heritage, full of fountains and water troughs, with the Mirla and Noyanta washing places, and El Arco, a 14^th-15^th century aqueduct.

The most important fiestas in Soneja are the Fiesta de San Matías at the end of February, the local bullfighting week at the beginning of August and the Fiestas Patronales (patron saint’s day) during the last week of September.
