サンエステバンデルヴァッレのおすすめランニングルート

Stone houses with balconies. One of the jewels of Gredos.

The Puerto del Pico with its viewing point is one of the classics of the Sierra de Gredos, used frequently in the routes of the Vuelta a España. The viewing point offers beautiful views of the Valle del Barranco or Valle de las Cinco Villas. You can also see the layout of the old Roman road that also went up this valley to access the upper part of the Iberian plateau. The road that goes up to the Puerto del Pico on its southern slope is in perfect condition as it is the national road N-502. It is a fast road so you have to be very careful with cars, especially on holidays and vacations.

You should definitely stop at the Puerto de Pico pass at an altitude of 1,352 m. There are enough parking spaces. There is also a restaurant on site. The views are spectacular and with a little luck you can see Iberian ibex up here.

The towns of Santa Cruz del Valle and Lanzahíta are connected by a forest track that coincides with the GR 180 route. This trail is especially pleasant in summer, when the air smells of pine and you can walk accompanied by the sound of cicadas.

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.

Located on the N-502 highway between Cuevas del Valle and San Martín del Pimpollar, the peak pass is a high mountain pass connecting the north face and the south face of the Sierra de Gredos. It is the access point to Torozo. At the top of the peak, there is a restaurant and a water fountain, which accompanies the views offered by the Castilian landscape.

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!!

The viewpoint from the Sierra de Gredos towards Castilla La Nueva, always impressive. Historic crossing point between the two Castillas, it maintains the traces of Roman times, with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.
