エラドン・デ・ピナレス周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

from the camper parking approx. 10km to the plateau. with a big climb. easy to do with e-bike. but once you get there you are in a beautiful quiet/quiet environment wonderfully beautiful.

Stage 2. Ávila/Madrid 140 km. 2,500 m positive. On the way back to Madrid we followed the route of the Camino de Santiago de Levante to the Alberche River with some variations to maintain cyclability and an acceptable average. The yellow arrows on the Jacobean route point towards Santiago de Compostela and at some intersections it is not easy to see them in the opposite direction. The track is essential to follow these “author” routes. The route leaves Ávila along the plain of the Chico River to Tornadizos de Ávila and continues along the cattle trails from the sources of the Tornadizos River to some spectacular pastoral meadows in the hills of El Cabezuelo. The final stretch of the climb follows a path that has good cyclability with good grinding technique and expertise on mountain trails. The path passes a gate with yellow arrows and goes down to the port of Boquerón, between the Cuerda de los Polvisos and the Malagón mountain range, one of the entrances to the great Herradón de Pinares grave. The descent along the Camino de Santiago is an uncomfortable and complicated trial with the bags due to the pavement and the vegetation and to maintain the pace we go down the road gliding over a deceptive landscape, we pass through El Herradón and continue to San Bartolomé de Pinares. The climb through the cobblestone streets of the town is tough and the exit through the forks of the Camino de Levante ends with an infernal wall, until the slope ends on a hill adorned with a milestone of the Jacobean route that has indications of the distances to different places. in the world, from Ávila and Madrid to Beijing or New Zealand.

The hermitage, built in granite stone, flint and brick masonry, consists of three naves. On the main altar, where the image of Sonsoles is located, a ribbed vault rises. Although its predominant style is baroque, it also presents Gothic elements due to renovations and reconstructions over time. The current hermitage was the work of Martín de Solózano in the 15th century, who was commissioned to demolish the previous building. The image of Our Lady of Sonsoles, created and hidden before the Muslim invasion, has been venerated since the 13th century. Illustrious personalities of Spain, such as Saint Teresa of Jesús and the painter Valeriano Domínguez Becquer, have visited this sanctuary. Even the then infante Don Juan Carlos de Borbón visited it in 1960. If you ever have the opportunity, I recommend visiting this place full of history and devotion. 🙏🌟

A few kilometers south of the old city you reach the Sanctuary. The building that remains today dates back to the 15th century and replaces an older monastery that was located on this land. There is a nice picnic area for you to rest and eat something outdoors before heading back to town.

Small town that is crossed by the Río de la Gaznata and that is surrounded by mountains that reach almost a thousand meters called Cuerda de los Polvisos.

Beautiful mountain pass located in the Sierra de Guadarrama and joining La Cruz de Hierro port, together with La Lancha, create a tough but beautiful route!

It is a small town in the province of Ávila with cobbled streets and old buildings. If you walk through its alleys, you feel like you are inside an art exhibition.

Road that climbs towards the town of El Hoyo de Pinares and that offers views of the set of mountains and pine forests that are close to the aforementioned town.
