For those who wish to stay for lunch or dinner we offer carefully and
slowly cooked traditional food. On Saturdays we have the
popular “cocido” (stew made of meat, bacon, and chickpeas) which
wakens your senses since early in the morning. But not less popular
are the “carillas” with tomato (a small soft bean grown in this
area), tomato soup, asparagus from “La Vera”, lean with peppers,
fried piglet or kid and good beef. We must not leave out the
vegetables and fruits of the land which you can taste any other day
of the week. There is a vegetable garden and an orchard with orange,
lemon, avocado, pear and other fruit trees, as well as centenary
olive and fig trees in our farmland.

There are multiple leisure activities you can achieve: you can go on
interesting and spectacular guided equestrian routes which can last
from one hour to several days, or sail down the river Tietar on canoe
whatever your age is (neopreno suits and life jackets are provided
for security). There is also the possibility to go hang gliding and
climbing, and for those who prefer to walk whether on guided
excursions or by themselves, the “Sierra de Gredos” has a great
landscape interest and the possibility of observing protected fauna
such as golden eagle, vulture, stork and others. The tracks lead to
places worth visiting such as “Los Hermanitos de Tejea”, the
refuge “Albarea”, and “La Puente del Puerto” where the roman bridge
stands as firm as the first day, you can also enjoy playing golf,
fishing (without killing) and hunting (hunting parties for all kinds
of big game: deer, wild Spanish goat, wild boar). You can go on trip
to nearby places of great tourist interest where you can easily get
by car, and visit for instance, the Celtic Iron Age Settlement of the
first century, prehistoric cave paintings, the Sanctuary of “Chilla”
and the church of “La Asunción” of the second century in Candeleda
(the ceramic altarpiece made in Talavera is one of the most ancient
ones in the area). There are some villages declared of tourist
interest owing to their popular festivities: the pilgrimage
to “Chilla, “Los Empalaos” in Valverde, “El Peropalo” in Villanueva
and “El Jarramplás” are some of them.

We can’t forget to mention its climate, owing to our privileged
geographic position we can enjoy a microclimate which enables
tobacco, cherry trees and peppers to be grown and our streets to be
decorated with orange and palm trees. Not in vain this area is known
as Avila´s Seville though better known as the Ceiling of Castille and
offers water, sun and an excellent microclimate for the visitor to
enjoy throughout the year.
