Granite peaks with views to infinity
Automatically translated from Spanish. Leer original en español
The Sierra de la Cabrera has an unmistakable silhouette: spires, walls, and large granite boulders rising above pastures, meadows, and mountain villages. Its tourist area extends beyond the mountain range itself and includes La Cabrera, Valdemanco, Bustarviejo, Navalafuente, Cabanillas de la Sierra, Venturada, and the municipality of Lozoyuela-Navas-Sieteiglesias, with its three population centers.
Pico de la Miel and Cancho Gordo are two of its most prominent landmarks. The trails allow visitors to get close to the rock formations and discover different perspectives of the mountain range, while the paths between villages reveal a more open and tranquil landscape. In Navalafuente, the Cancho waterfall adds the contrast of water to a landscape characterized by its rocky terrain.
The livestock and agricultural heritage remains evident in the drove roads, horse-shoeing frames, and traditional buildings. Exploring these places allows one to understand how the villages have interacted with the mountains, pastures, and communication routes.
The area also offers opportunities for granite climbing and discovering rural heritage. In Bustarviejo, the church, hermitages, and town hall are highlights; in Cabanillas de la Sierra, the old livestock trails and the Church of San Juan Bautista help to illuminate the town's history. These visits complement a day of hiking and allow you to experience the mountains from their villages.
