I saw that there is a recreational and bathing area on the river that could be interesting on hot days. From what I saw, access is subject to a fee.

For a small town, Villar del Olmo has many interesting historical and scenic things to see. The town hall has an application that will help you find them.

In the main square, centered by a large fountain with four spouts that ends in a ball on which the date 1832 appears, the clock tower stands out, with several bodies, and the building of the parish church, dedicated to San Pedro Apóstol.

The church dedicated to San Pedro is from the 13th century but important reforms were carried out in it during the 15th century, the main nave was redone and two other lateral ones were added, for example. It preserves its original Romanesque head, the belfry and the presbytery. Inside, don't miss the Gothic ornaments, the Mudejar pair and knuckle armor; and the small ivory carving of the Virgen de los Llanos. It was declared B.I.C with the category of Monument in 1990.

Interesting work of the s. XV, which allows us to appreciate how a castle was arranged when the use of artillery had already been imposed: harquebuses and cannons. It is erected on a plain, and preserves both its interior and towers, as well as the outer enclosure and the moat. Free access to the outside. To visit the interior, contact the Pioz town hall, telephone 949.272.076.
