Valdeprados can be explored through three distinct travel interests: the La Risca del Río Moros gorge, the Iglesia de Santa Eulalia de Mérida and local festivals. When planning a stay, you can first decide whether nature, architecture or a particular date should be the main focus.

Gorge and viewpoint

La Risca del Río Moros is a canyon about 300 metres long, with vertical walls up to 40 metres high. The gorge is protected and designated a Lugar de Interés Geológico (Geological Interest Site).

The Ruta de la Risca del Río Moros is suitable for all visitors. Along the route is a small wooden viewpoint with a maximum capacity of ten people. If you choose the route for its scenery, you can include this viewpoint as a specific stop when planning. For groups, the maximum capacity is useful information that applies specifically to the viewpoint.

Church architecture and works of art

The Iglesia de Santa Eulalia de Mérida is built in the Herrerian style. Its works of art include a main altarpiece dating from 1791, in the Rococo style transitioning to Neoclassicism, and a Late Mannerist painting. The painting depicts the Virgin of the Rosary with donors.

Bridge, legend and tower

The Puente de los Enamorados historically connected the neighbouring towns of Valdeprados and Vegas de Matute. A local legend tells that a prince and the daughter of the Señores de Vegas met at the bridge and then plunged to their deaths. At this named location, a historical link between two towns and a story passed down as legend thus exist side by side.

The Torreón de los Condes de Puñonrostro in Valdeprados is also among the town’s historical landmarks. It is said to have been built in the 15th century.

Festival dates as a reason to travel

The summer festivals in Valdeprados take place on the penultimate weekend of August. The local festival in honour of Saint Eulalia, the patron saint of Valdeprados, is celebrated on 10 December. The two dates offer different points of reference for planning your trip: a weekend in August and a fixed date in December.

If you are planning your trip specifically around one of the festivals, check the date for your intended stay. This way, your search for hotels in Valdeprados can focus on the travel occasion that really matters to you.
