Plan a visit to Navaluenga around hiking trails, river and mountain scenery, and local history. The PRC-AV 9 is a particular highlight: it starts at the Ermita de San Isidro beside the Puente Románico and offers views of Gredos and the Alberche Valley.

Hiking with different viewpoints

The approved PRC-AV 9 hiking trail starts in Navaluenga at the Ermita de San Isidro beside the Puente Románico. The route is marked and offers views of the main peaks of eastern Gredos and the Alberche Valley. Its starting point and the views along the way give you concrete reference points if you choose to make the hike a focus of your trip.

The PRC-AV 10 offers a different focus. It leads to a section of the Barranco del Cambronal, among tall stone pines; the Cambronal stream runs alongside the route. By comparison, the PRC-AV 9 is described as focusing on views, while the PRC-AV 10 focuses on the woodland and stream. This lets you choose a route based on the landscape that interests you.

River scenery and nature in Gredos

Navaluenga lies in the valley on the Alberche River, before it flows into the Burguillo Reservoir. The landscape around the town includes orchards and meadows, as well as holm oak stands, oak forests and pine forests. Alongside its riverside setting, the area offers a varied mix of open spaces and woodland types to explore. These landscape features give you several nature-focused perspectives to consider when planning your trip.

The Garganta de Peñaltar is in the granite massif of Gredos and reaches an altitude of 1,022 metres. It is home to notable black pines and griffon vultures. The altitude, tree species and birdlife give you concrete reference points if you want to experience nature not only through the landscape, but also through its plant and animal life.

Church and chapel: two historical connections

The parish church of Nuestra Señora de los Villares dates from the 13th to 14th centuries. Around 1940, local farmers rebuilt the Ermita de San Isidro on the remains of the former Ermita de la Purísima Concepción. For planning a culture-focused visit, these offer different historical perspectives: the parish church’s period of construction, and the chapel’s rebuilding and earlier structure.

Another connection to the landscape

The golf course is also located on the Alberche River, amid natural lakes and lush Mediterranean vegetation. Its setting offers another point of connection to the landscape if golf is one of your interests.
