📍 Route: From La Lastra to the abandoned village of Nabarveja 🥾🏚️ No way to get lost (All to the right) ➡️🧭: This is a very easy route to follow. The key is to always take the right turns. You can't miss it! Easy Hike 🚶‍♂️✅: This is an easy, short route with hardly any hills. Ideal for a leisurely stroll without much physical exertion. The Path that Becomes a River 🌊🛣️: Near the village, the path narrows between farms. In winter, due to the rain, the path becomes a small river, and you have to walk through the water.

Nabarveja, the forgotten village 🏚️✨: The snow-covered ruins create a magical atmosphere. A true journey back in time 📸. 💡 Seasonal tips: In Winter: 🧊 Waterproof boots are a must for the wet section!

Beautiful views, on a good day you can see people taking off on paragliders.

From the small town of Navamediana and along an old cobbled path, the path leads us along the gorge to the high mountain of Gredos. The first section of the path runs through an oak forest. The sound of jays and other small birds accompany us. The sound of the water becomes more intense as we approach the bed of the gorge. We feel the freshness of the riverside vegetation and ascending the left bank we trace the course of the river guided by the sound of the water. THE intense smell of cantuesos and thyme will follow us for much of the way if we choose spring to take this route. At the highest part, a grove of aspen and later birch trees outline the gorge. Higher up the sound of the water becomes more intense, the water runs capriciously, jumping and drawing numerous waterfalls that will delight the walker. The path ascends with a steeper slope between large stones to overcome the threshold and lead us to the end of our route, returning us to tranquility and silence at this point.

La Horcajada is located in the southwest triangle of the province of Ávila. It is practically the space between the foothills of Gredos and the mountain ranges of Malpartida and Collado del Mirón, on the one hand, and the port of Villatoro and the confluence of the Corneja and Tormes rivers, on the other. This surface has been called "Valdecorneja" for centuries. The Cancionero de Baeza, from 1445, for example, records this. The four most important towns in the Valley are, possibly since Vetton times or before, El Mirón, Piedrahíta, La Horcajada and El Barco de Ávila. La Horcajada is located about 75 kilometers southwest of the provincial capital, Ávila, about 82 kilometers from Salamanca and 185 kilometers from Madrid. The town is located at 1033 m above sea level. n. m. between the towns of Piedrahíta and Barco de Ávila on the slopes of the Sierra de la Horcajada.

A large port, 15 km long if we start from Piedrahita, and with a constant slope of 6% except for a couple of short sections that are less and some sections that reach 9%, but very punctual. The condition of the asphalt is good, it is one of the few ports in the area with a surface in good condition. Upstairs it has very good views and there are usually people doing paragliding (if the weather conditions allow it)

Old bridge, currently misnamed La Fonseca, its real historical name is La Ponseca. It belongs to the municipality of La Horcajada, which has also recently been rehabilitated because its rock was detaching and its stability was beginning to be endangered. It crosses the river Corneja and as a curiosity, Emperor Carlos V passed over this bridge on his retirement journey to the Yuste monastery.

While riding my bike near Villar de Corneja, I come across this beautiful medieval bridge that allows us to cross the Corneja river. This river was really useful for irrigating the orchards and using the mills.
