Delicious coffee on the terrace of the Puente Seco bar, with views of Torozo, Serranillos and Puerto de Pedro Bernardo

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

Mombeltrán Castle is situated in a beautiful spot in the Sierra de Gredos mountains, just south of the Puerto del Pico Pass (altitude 1352 m).

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.

San Esteban del Valle is a picturesque Spanish municipality located in the province of Ávila. It is located in the Tiétar Valley region, at the foot of the Gredos mountain range, which makes it an attractive destination for nature lovers. Among the most notable monuments are: the church of San Esteban Protomártir from the 15th century, the hermitage of San Pedro Bautista and the hermitage of San Andrés, the jurisdictional roll or pillory.

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.
