Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Béjar
Béjar offers a compact urban structure where streets naturally lead to more open visual points. The place pleases when you walk slowly: signs, alignments, facade rhythms, and the contrast between lively and quieter areas make the destination very readable.
Place
Candelario
Candelario is distinguished by its almost preserved image, made of alignments of neat houses and alleys that invite to listen to the matter of buildings. Half an hour is enough to grasp his character, provided that he avoids the progression in a straight line and returns to the lateral areas.
Place
La Covatilla
The Covatilla corresponds to the altitude slope of the Sierra de Béjar, with open slopes, rocks and open horizons. In the cold season, the site takes on a ski resort look; out of snow, it offers a rougher approach to the mountain, swept away by the wind and rapid changes in weather.
Nature
Montemayor del Río
Montemayor del Río imposes a useful landscape for travellers attentive to the atmospheres: water lines, paths, gentle reliefs and openings to the valley. The place understands itself over the duration of the journey; according to the clarity of the sky, the same slopes seem to change texture and naturally direct the rhythm of the day.
