Duratón River Gorges Natural Park (Spanish: Parque Natural de las Hoces del Río Duratón) is a natural park of 5,037 hectares (12,450 acres),[1] 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) west of Sepúlveda, Segovia, Castile and León, Spain. The park contains a series of 100 metres (330 ft) high gorges that were formed by the Duratón River.[2]
Saint Fructus (San Frutos) established himself here as a hermit in the 8th century; a monastery dedicated to him also exists within the park.
The park surrounds the pre-existing villages of Sepúlveda, Sebúlcor, and Carrascal del Río.[1]
It is home to a population of griffon vultures,[3] along with Egyptian vultures, common kestrels, and peregrine falcons.[4]
