In the Valle del Tiétar, one of the most attractive activities is walking an activity enjoyed by everyone and all ages, sometimes looking for that hidden rock pool, with crystal clear water to swim in. Whole families with children walk through beautiful oak and pine forests or ride their bikes along the country tracks.

For short and easy walks you can ask your hosts wherever you are staying who will be happy to tell you the way.

The following are some links to different web pages which will no doubt be helpful for finding walks in the area:
