Sierra de Béjar

The province of Salamanca offers many possibilities for excursions. About 25 km. from the city we have Alba de Tormes , an important town for Saint Teresa and the house of the duke of Alva. Around the city is the Campo Charro, that is, the Dehesa with its most important inhabitants such as the bull, a magnificent animal and the Iberian pig.

In the south of the province, the Sierra de Bejar with Candelario . A mountainous village with views of the mountains and typical architecture of the area. It is on the list “The most beautiful villages of Spain” Next we have the Sierra de Francia with its beautiful mountainous villages such as Mogarraz , San Martin de Castañar and La Alberca . This region was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2006, along with that of Sierra de Béjar . Towards Portugal next to the main road we find Ciudad Rodrigo , a town with a totally intact city wall, a beautiful cathedral, noble houses and a Parador that was formerly a castle. Not far from this town is the Siega Verde area, an archaeological zone where we can see rock carvings in the open air.

Finally, Las Arribes with beautiful views over the gorge that the Douro River has created between Spain and Portugal, the so-called Raya. Here we can take a boat trip to contemplate its impressive nature. Contact me and I will help you to make a trip to your liking.
