La Pichona

Highlight • Settlement

It is probably the most important town in the southern area of Gredos. Its center is very lively, with several bars and restaurants where you can eat well and enjoy the summer afternoons. There are also several historical places to visit.
It is a place that can be used as a base camp for various routes through this area of the Sierra de Gredos, full of passes and peaks, many of which are the history of the Tour of Spain.
In this area of Gredos, the pools are very famous, which are places in the river where you can bathe and cool off in summer. There are several around Arenas de San Pedro. As they tend to fill up on summer days, you have to go early to get a spot.

Puerto de la Centenera

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This is one of the least known ports in the Sierra de Gredos, as the Vuelta a España has only climbed it once.
It is a very pretty port, very typical of this area, as the slopes are moderate, the road is narrow and somewhat punished by the contrasts in temperatures, and there are many pine trees. Traffic is almost non-existent, especially after leaving behind the towns of El Arenal and El Hornillo.

Puerto del Pico Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view from the small parking lot opposite the source. Above all, you should have seen the old Roman road. A little uncomfortable but in good shape.

Castle built in the 15th century. In the year 1393, King Henry III granted the title of Villa to Arenas de San Pedro, handing over its lordship to Ruy López Dávalos, constable of Castile, who began its construction.
It is known as the Castle of the Sad Countess, because after the execution of Don Álvaro de Luna in 1453, Juan II allowed the town to remain in the possession of his widow, Doña Juana de Pimentel, popularly known by this nickname.
