We made one last stop before heading to Madrid. We stopped in Roa, 20 minutes west of Aranda del Duero. It takes about 30 minutes to see the town.
Roa is a small town with a population of 2200. There are many good wineries nearby but check to see if reservations are needed.
The town has a few sights and several restaurants.
Excolegiata de Santa Maria

Step inside and take a look.

San Juan Gate, the north entrance to town, is the only one of 6 gates that still remains.
