The Chorro de los Ángeles is a waterfall over 200 metres high, directly overlooked by the viewing point that has made it more accessible. It is in Las Hurdes, and belongs to the Ovejuela hamlet, although it can also be reached from Sierra de Gata and in any case you can go by mountain bike or gravel bike along forest trails. The path, especially if done on foot or by mountain bike, allows you not only to contemplate the magnificent landscape of Las Hurdes, but also to smell pine trees, heather and other vegetation. About six kilometres away, there is a signposted detour to the ruins of the Convent of the Angels, which the signs say was built in the 13th century by order of Saint Francis of Assisi. He would have been captivated by nature on his way to Portugal. Today you can walk parallel to a stone alley in excellent condition towards the river of Los Ángeles.

It is a beautiful waterfall that, depending on the time of year, can be almost dry or flow strongly. The trail from Ovejuela follows the river and is not too long or too steep.

The Torre de Almenara is at the top of a short steep climb. The trail can be a bit tricky at times, but it's easy to see where you're going. This small castle has been conquered and reconquered numerous times and has an interesting history.

Beautiful town that is located at the foot of the Sierra de Gata and from where the rural essence of these towns is still preserved, far from the big cities. The alleys, the urbanism of the houses and their location make it a special place!

Green area with tables and shade, river with natural pool and shelter. The fountain does not work, but you can purify water from the river or go to the fountain less than a kilometer away. The shelter, as of November 2021, has the door open (the lock is broken) but the city council has plans to reform it. It is best to contact the Pinofranqueado town hall before going to confirm that the shelter is open or to get the key if the lock has been fixed. Telephone: 927 67 41 81
