Puerto de Casillas – Entrance to the Valle de Iruelas Nature Reserve

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The ascent to the port of Casillas is one of the simplest and most essential hiking routes in this part of the Central System.

The port of Casillas is one of the entrances to the Valle de Iruelas Natural Reserve, where if we choose a clear day, we will be able to contemplate a wide landscape, not only a large part of the Natural Reserve with the Burguillo Reservoir in the background over the waters of the Alberche river, but also the Sierras de la Paramera on the horizon and the first foothills of the western Madrid mountains.

Toros de Guisando

Highlight • Monument

It is a place where you can admire stone carvings that are more than 2,000 years old that were recovered and taken there so that they can be contemplated by visitors who wish to do so.

You have to pay a small entrance fee of €2 to ensure the conservation and maintenance of the sculptures, but it is definitely worth it.
These are 4 bulls carved in stone from the 3rd century BC. next to an old inn or inn called "Juradera" in which the pact was signed between Enrique IV and his sister Isabel.

Casillas

Highlight • Settlement

Casillas is a municipality in the province of Ávila, located at an altitude of 1012 m, at the beginning of the Tiétar valley. It is surrounded by an extensive forest of chestnut and oak trees.

If you want to know its resin past, I recommend visiting the ethnographic museum of Resin, which has two exhibitions, in two large resin huts.
