Mingorría

Highlight • Settlement

The place name Mingorría retains Basque reminiscences, deriving from “mendi gorria,” which means “red mountain” or “red land.” This is observed in other cases in the province of Ávila, such as the town of Mendigorría in Navarra. In historical documents, Mingorría already appears as Ningorría, and it is believed that there was an assimilation due to the change of the liquid initials “M” to “N.” Another legend attributes the name of Mingorría to the notice that José Chinchurreta gave to monarch Felipe II, justifying the delay in the supply of granite during the works of the Monastery of El Escorial.

Old Roman bridge over the Adaja River

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge was built to facilitate crossing the Adaja River and connect the Roman city of Ávila with the opposite bank. Although only the hidden abutments on the edges of the original Roman bridge remain, the bridge visible today dates back to the 12th century.

The Los Cuatro Postes shrine is a religious monument located in the city of Ávila. It is made up of four five-meter-high Doric columns on whose capitals rest as many architraves with the arms of the city; In the center of the square formed by the columns, on a plinth, stands a granite cross.

Cardeñosa

Highlight • Settlement

Nucleus that has a great history behind it not only because Las Cogotas is located closer to the reservoir but also, for example, the Arco toral of the depopulated Conejeros.
