Navamorisca offers several reasons to visit: the PR-AV 56 walking trail passes through several named places, a circular walk starts and ends in the town, and the bathing area combines a natural swimming area, a picnic area and a snack bar. Historical connections are also found in the town’s name and two mills. This gives you three distinct focuses to choose from when planning your visit: route type, time by the water and local history.

Hiking: A Series of Towns or a Circular Walk

The PR-AV 56 Cordel Bejarano walking trail passes through El Barco de Ávila, Navamorisca, El Losar del Barco, Junciana, Gilbuena and Palacios de Becedas. This sequence of towns places Navamorisca on a route through several places and provides wayfinding at the named stops. Check local trail conditions before setting out.

Another option is the 12 km circular walk, which starts and ends in Navamorisca and passes through Junciana and El Losar de Barco. It is described as easy and technically undemanding, and is also considered suitable for families. Its length, start and finish make this route clearly defined as a loop; the named places along the way provide additional guidance for planning.

The two route descriptions answer different planning questions: the circular walk gives its length and returns to Navamorisca, while the PR-AV 56 lists a sequence of towns. Junciana appears in both descriptions, providing a shared place name for comparison. Decide whether a loop or a route through several towns better suits your plans.

Natural Swimming Area and Picnic Area

Navamorisca’s bathing area includes a natural swimming area, a picnic area and a snack bar. Alongside the walks, this offers a different focus: swimming, a picnic break or a snack. Before travelling, check locally whether the bathing area and snack bar are available.

If you are planning to spend time by the water, you can choose how to make use of the three facilities: the natural swimming area for swimming, the picnic area for a break and the snack bar for refreshments. This makes the bathing area a distinct activity, separate from choosing a walking route.

The Town’s Name and Mills

Local history offers different points of interest, too. The name Navamorisca is associated with the Muslim occupation of the area. An inventory counts Navamorisca’s two mills among four mills in regular or poor condition. It describes the machinery in these two mills as destroyed; only the millstones are said to remain identifiable.

The name and the mills offer different historical perspectives: the town’s name represents an interpretation associated with the history of the area, while the millstones provide a physical link. As surviving parts, they make the structures’ former purpose as mills understandable; the described machinery also indicates their state of preservation.
