Soria is a province of central Spain, in the eastern part of the autonomous community of Castile and León.

The average population density of provinces in Spain and European Union are 83.6 and 116 inhabitants per square km respectively.

In the 1950s, there were a total of 70,000 hectares cultivated land, but excessive fragmentation and lack of mechanization resulted in a very low productivity.

Marble quarries are located in Espejón while Sierra de Toranzo and Ólvega have iron mines.
