La Pichona
Highlight • Settlement
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.
