We are in a natural environment of stunning scenery and mountain streams. A strategic point for excursions, walking (to the nature reserve, the Garganta de los Infiernos, Honduras Pass etc), horse-riding, cycling, fishing, canoeing and savouring our traditional gastronomy.

VISITING THE NATURE RESERVE “GARGANTA DE LOS INFIERNOS”

From the Tourist Office, go onto the N-110 main road and turn right towards the town of Jerte. After about 2.5 km, you come to the Los Arenales Hotel and an alabaster craft shop (with a thatched hut). Just opposite, on your right, take a narrow road signed Camping and Interpretation Centre, following the wall of a sports centre. Follow on over a narrow bridge crossing the Jerte River, and you come to an open space and car-park of the Interpretation Centre of the reserve. Leave your car here and begin the route on foot.
