The best walks and hikes around Riocabado

The Castro de Las Cogotas, located in the municipality of Cardeñosa (Ávila), is one of the most emblematic Iron Age archaeological sites on the Iberian Peninsula, especially linked to the Vetton people. It is situated on a hill next to the Adaja River, surrounded by holm oak groves, pastures, and fertile land. This location offered defensive advantages and abundant natural resources. The fort is open to the public and has an Interpretation Center that explains its history and characteristics. Periodic archaeological conferences are also held on the site.

Opened in 2017, the center offers a variety of educational and recreational activities, including guided tours, real-time bird watching via video cameras, and exhibits on local fauna and flora. The center also features dioramas, a screening room, and an observation deck, providing an immersive experience for visitors.

The museum allows visitors to explore the cultural and natural heritage of El Oso while enjoying a walk in the open air. It is a great way to learn more about the history and traditions of this small municipality in Ávila. 🌄😎🚶‍♂️

This stone sculpture is part of the town's Open Air Museum and has great historical and cultural importance.🐻

Half a century ago, the Avila town of Las Berlanas suffered a catastrophe of hitherto unknown proportions. A flood devastated the municipality and one of its main surroundings, El Burgo, in addition to ending the lives of two people. To commemorate this tragic event, a monument has been erected that remembers the victims and the catastrophe, but also the efforts of the people of Berlin to improve themselves.

Three stone crosses located on a rocky outcrop near the Ermita del Berrocal, on the outskirts of Cardeñosa.

Along the way you reach the ruins of a medieval settlement, with building stones scattered on the ground of which only the main arch of a church remains standing.

Located inside the park, this monument, which was placed in 2009, commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the flood that Las Berlanas suffered and which devastated part of this town, in which two people died and seventy families were left homeless.
