Next to the environmental values, the area of Gredos hoards an interesting compendium of places in which history, art and tradition have left an important track. Between all of them, we emphasize the Roman road of the “Puerto del Pico” and the towns of Candeleda and “El Barco de Avila”. We recommended the mountain walk from the platform located at the end of the road that starts at “Hoyos del Espino” up to the famous “Circo de Gredos”. The way ends at the call “Trocha Real”, that, in few minutes, leads on the great Glacial lagoon. In its cold and transparent waters are reflected the high summits that next to the Almanzor form the “Circus of Gredos”. It is emphasized the National Park of Gredos Mountain range, of amazing fauna and botanical value. To enjoy your visit to the mountains, it is recommended to go hiking. Impressive landscape modelled by glacier erosion on granite rocks: lagoons, circuses, and deposits that culminates in the 2592 meters of the Almanzor tip.
