La Horcajada

Highlight • Settlement

La Horcajada is located in the southwest triangle of the province of Ávila. It is practically the space between the foothills of Gredos and the mountain ranges of Malpartida and Collado del Mirón, on the one hand, and the port of Villatoro and the confluence of the Corneja and Tormes rivers, on the other. This surface has been called "Valdecorneja" for centuries. The Cancionero de Baeza, from 1445, for example, records this. The four most important towns in the Valley are, possibly since Vetton times or before, El Mirón, Piedrahíta, La Horcajada and El Barco de Ávila.

La Horcajada is located about 75 kilometers southwest of the provincial capital, Ávila, about 82 kilometers from Salamanca and 185 kilometers from Madrid. The town is located at 1033 m above sea level. n. m. between the towns of Piedrahíta and Barco de Ávila on the slopes of the Sierra de la Horcajada.

Puerto del Tremedal

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A spectacular place to ride a bike, a small port with a constant slope, but with spectacular views. Be careful on the descent because the road is not in the best possible condition, lots of gravel and the occasional pothole.

Puente del Congosto

Highlight • Historical Site

The Salamanca town of Puente del Congosto, located a few kilometers from the entrance of the Tormes river in charro territory, owes its name to the gorges and channels that the erosion of the water has been causing. The origin of the town dates back to the 11th century.
