La Pichona

Highlight • Settlement

It is probably the most important town in the southern area of Gredos. Its center is very lively, with several bars and restaurants where you can eat well and enjoy the summer afternoons. There are also several historical places to visit.
It is a place that can be used as a base camp for various routes through this area of the Sierra de Gredos, full of passes and peaks, many of which are the history of the Tour of Spain.
In this area of Gredos, the pools are very famous, which are places in the river where you can bathe and cool off in summer. There are several around Arenas de San Pedro. As they tend to fill up on summer days, you have to go early to get a spot.

Aquelcabos Medieval Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Achecabos Bridge is commonly called a Roman bridge (since it was built on a previous bridge, predictably Roman). It is the oldest bridge in Arenas de San Pedro. It is expected that it was built in the eleventh century, so it is of medieval origin. It was widely used by travelers and transhumant shepherds, previously paying the toll or barge.
It consists of three arches, the central one being the largest of all. Its firm has been restored with cobblestone imitating the original. On both sides there is a one meter high stone parapet and various parts of its layout have been repaired with cement.

Puerto de la Centenera

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This is one of the least known ports in the Sierra de Gredos, as the Vuelta a España has only climbed it once.
It is a very pretty port, very typical of this area, as the slopes are moderate, the road is narrow and somewhat punished by the contrasts in temperatures, and there are many pine trees. Traffic is almost non-existent, especially after leaving behind the towns of El Arenal and El Hornillo.
