Located on the southern slope of the Gredos mountain range and in the heart of the Tiétar valley, Cuevas del Valle is one of the most beautiful towns in this mountain range, although it is not as renowned as others. And in this town of medieval origin there are still excellent examples of the traditional architecture of the area and an outstanding historical-artistic heritage that is very well preserved.

The peak of Torozo is located east of the port of Pico and represents one of the most western peaks in this area of the Sierra de Gredos. The views it offers are very beautiful, although in winter, the snow and the cold can make it difficult!!

This old stone bridge is located in a beautiful setting in the town of Navaluenga. The bridge allows you to cross the Alberche River and divides the two bathing areas of the Navaluenga natural pools during the summer months. An ideal place to add to my route.
