Navaleno, which means "Meadow of Hay", is a municipality located to the northwest of the province of Soria, in the autonomous community of Castile and León, in Spain.
It considerably increases the population in summer for being site of leisure, ideal for hikers.
It belongs to the "Hermandad de la Cabaña Real de Carreteros, Burgos-Soria", (Brotherhood of the Royal Route of Cartwrights Burgos--Soria), created in the 15th century during the reign of Catholic Monarchs. The Parish Church is dedicated to "San Esteban Protomártir".
The economy comes mainly from the forest industry for the creation of furniture, plank, board etc. Formerly great part of the population was dedicated to the transport of carts, like the neighbour villages.Navaleno and the zone are well known by the abundance and mycological quality that is in its pine groves.
A scene from the film Doctor Zhivago by David Lean was filmed in the local railway station. Artificial snow had to be used that year because it didn't snow as expected when they wanted to film.
