    Visiting El Barco de Ávila is an excellent option for a cultural and natural getaway at any time of year. This medieval town, located in the Alto Tormes region and at the gateway to the Sierra de Gredos, combines history, architecture, landscapes, and gastronomy in a charming way.

      El Barco de Ávila is an outstanding town in the Tormes Valley, the town center has been declared a Historic-Artistic Site, it has a superb castle built in the 12th century on the remains of a primitive Veton fort and rebuilt in the 14th century. It preserves part of the medieval walls and has a Romanesque-style bridge over the River Tormes built in the Middle Ages. In the streets there are stately homes, arcaded squares, cobbled floors, fountains and a rich ethnographic, artistic and monumental heritage. The cycling trip leaves from the Plaza de España, which is always lively with the atmosphere of the terraces and shops, there is also the tourist office in the popular Casa del Reloj. The route passes by the side of the church and goes down to the medieval bridge, the best way to leave the town of Tormes. On the western shore is the hermitage of Christ and on the right the first steep slope of the route appears, but it does not last long, the path crosses the main road and continues straight ahead along a livestock alley that is only used by cyclists and hikers. The surface is slow and entertaining, there is a lot of grass and flooded sections may appear depending on the season.
