Hervás has magnificent architectural heritage such as the Davila Palace, a parish church, the monastery of the Trinitarian Fathers, etc. The largest collection of classic motorcycles in Europe!

The lighting works well coming from Hervas, but not the other way around. The 2nd part is really pitch black! (May 2026).

The origin of this via verde lies in the transport of silver. the Silver Route (Vía de la Plata) runs through. However, pilgrims do not walk through the village itself, which is characterized by its typical local architecture; instead, the pilgrim route stays to the left of the village
