Jerte Valley

The "Garganta de los Infiernos" nature reserve is a protected space, and the most famous spot inside it is known as "Los Pilones": spectacular rock formations produced by the constant erosion of the water, used in summer as a natural bathing area.
 

At the start of the cherry season, an extensive programme of activities is held centred on this delicious fruit. Another interesting option is a visit to the Cherry Museum, which is 10 minutes from our hotel.
 

In January, a singular and popular fiesta is held in the municipality of Piornal. The "Jarramplas" roams the streets of the town whilst the locals and visitors throw turnips at him, as has been done for generations.
 

Nature sports lovers can engage in activities like descending vertiginous ravines, challenging climbs, canoeing on the river Jerte or quiet walks in the Jerte Valley.
 

The Jerte Valley offers a multitude of bathing areas, in most cases prepared as natural swimming pools, for enjoying a refreshing dip in an idyllic setting. 
 

This spectacular waterfall with a drop of over 30 metres flows over a wall of granite smoothened by the water. A place surrounded by huge specimens of oak, ash and alder trees, where you can breathe in pure nature.

The Jerte Valley has some fantastic viewing platforms, affording the very best panoramic views: Mirador de la Memoria (El Torno), Puerto de Tornavacas or Mirador del Puerto de Honduras.
 

To enjoy this lovely faterfalls, there is a 4-kilometre route with a low level of difficulty which enables you to contemplate the beauty of this lively watercourse and the ecosystem it supports.

The chestnut specimens of Casas de Castañar are living monuments, recognised and protected as Singular Trees because of their age of approximately 700 years.
