November 30, 2025, View of San Esteban de la Sierra and Sierra de Béjar

On the SA-205 highway, just outside San Esteban de la Sierra heading towards Santibáñez de la Sierra, you'll find the entrance to the Sierra Viewpoints Route, which includes several spectacular panoramic viewpoints. Views: The Alagón River Valley and its meanders. The Sierra de Francia mountain range with the Peña de Francia peak in the background. The Sierra de Béjar mountain range and the Las Quilamas Natural Area. This viewpoint is a magnificent natural balcony, perfect for photography and birdwatching (vultures, eagles, black storks).

What to see in Miranda del Castañar Medieval Walls: Over 600 meters remain intact, with four gates facing the cardinal directions: San Ginés, Nuestra Señora, La Villa, and El Postigo. Zúñiga Castle: A 15th-century fortress, symbol of the former County of Miranda. Although the interior is not open to the public, its exterior and keep are impressive. Square Bullring: Considered one of the oldest in Spain, built in the 16th century on the site of the former parade ground. Church of Santiago and San Ginés: Gothic in style (13th-16th centuries), with a detached 17th-century bell tower. Houses with Coats of Arms: More than 80 noble coats of arms adorn the facades, reflecting the town's aristocratic past.

Miranda del Castañar, one of the most beautiful villages in Spain, is located in the Sierra de Francia (Salamanca): Founded in 1213 by Alfonso IX of León as a town and council, it was the administrative capital of the Sierra de Francia. In the 15th century, the County of Miranda was created under the control of the Zúñiga family, consolidating its strategic importance.

The Soto Bridge, also known as the Roman Bridge of Sotoserrano, is a historic stone structure that spans the Alagón River in the Las Batuecas-Sierra de Francia Natural Park. It is located in the town of Sotoserrano, famous for being at the confluence of three rivers: the Alagón, the Francia, and the Cuerpo de Hombre. The bridge is one of the town's symbols and a key point on several hiking and cycling routes.

The Old Bridge of El Barco de Ávila, also known as the Medieval Bridge, is one of the most representative symbols of this town in Ávila. It crosses the Tormes River and connects the historic center with the old communication route to Castile and León. Although its current structure is medieval (12th–13th centuries), it is believed to have been built on Roman foundations.

Valdecorneja Castle, located in El Barco de Ávila, is a medieval gem that dominates the Tormes River valley from a strategic, elevated position. It is one of the most emblematic monuments in the province of Ávila and a must-see for history and architecture lovers.

Built on a Vettonian fort that was destroyed by the Romans, it was built in the 12th century and rebuilt in the 14th century. After being conquered from the Arabs, King Alfonso VI donated the Lordship of Valdecorneja to his daughter and son-in-law, Ramon de Borgoña, for repopulation. At the beginning of the 14th century, Henry II of Trastamara donated these lands to the House of Alba in the person of Don García Álvarez de Toledo. The House of Alba was responsible for building the castle. Grand Duke Don Fernando Álvarez de Toledo had his second residence here. During the Peninsular War, it suffered significant deterioration, not only due to the war itself but also because its stones were used to build private homes. The old interior arcade (which apparently formed a double gallery on the inside of the tower) was dismantled and rebuilt to provide arcades for the town hall building, located in the Plaza Mayor. Between 1851 and 1904, the interior of the castle grounds was used as a municipal cemetery, which further deteriorated its condition. Today, the exterior is in perfect condition after restorations carried out in 1985 and 2004, preserving its original perimeter. The pavement and part of the keep were repaired. Access to the monument is free, and visitors can see the well located in the center of the courtyard, a vaulted cistern excavated in the subsoil rock, and the ancient windows and oriel windows with double pointed arches. The courtyard is used for certain cultural events held in this town.

A spectacular place to ride a bike, a small port with a constant slope, but with spectacular views. Be careful on the descent because the road is not in the best possible condition, lots of gravel and the occasional pothole.
