Hiking

Small town with limited facilities (a bar at the station, a recommended restaurant in the Hotel and a small supermarket close to the station), mainly popular with climbers and therefore you will find many lodges and more or less legal/wild camping spots. Most hikers will come here as it is the endpoint of the Caminito del Rey, but the area around is worth to explore as well.
