La Pichona
Highlight • Settlement
It is a place that can be used as a base camp for various routes through this area of the Sierra de Gredos, full of passes and peaks, many of which are the history of the Tour of Spain.
In this area of Gredos, the pools are very famous, which are places in the river where you can bathe and cool off in summer. There are several around Arenas de San Pedro. As they tend to fill up on summer days, you have to go early to get a spot.

Arenas de San Pedro
Highlight • Settlement
In its urban center, the Triste Condesa castle stands out, with a large Torre del Homenaje; the 16th century Gothic church of Our Lady of the Assumption, with a splendid bell tower; and the palace of the Infante Don Luis de Borbón. It is also essential to visit the sanctuary of San Pedro de Alcántara, from the 16th century, declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1972. Located three kilometers from Arenas, it was renovated in the 18th century following the guidelines of the architect Ventura Rodríguez, who erected a magnificent funerary chapel . In the sanctuary's garden a thornless rose bush grows, which according to legend is the miraculous work of San Pedro de Alcántara. Interesting collections of liturgical metalwork are exhibited in the Royal Chapel Museum.
