Hervás has beautiful architectural heritage such as the Davila palace, a parish church, the convent of the Trinitarian fathers etc. The largest collection of classic motorcycles in Europe!

The Jerte River rises in the Gredos mountain range and flows through the impressive valley of the same name in northern Extremadura. Along its way, it feeds gorges, natural pools, and lush forests, becoming a true oasis, especially in spring, when cherry blossoms cover the landscape.

Hidden natural freshwater pools where you can swim and sunbathe, with access via a route through rocky valleys. Of course, the water is very cool when you come down from the mountains.

This wooden bridge connects both banks of the Collado de las Yeguas gorge. It is a perfect area to cool off on hot days, as it has a pool of crystal clear water.

This beautiful stone bridge, which crosses over the Tres Cerros stream, is located in a spectacular setting. It is a much less crowded area than Los Pilones, and is part of the Carlos V hiking route. There are some pools of transparent water in which to relax your feet before continuing the march.
