Castrillo de los Polvazares

Reviewed By FactotumDellaCitta - London, United Kingdom

This is a quaint village, which retains its 16th-century architecture, including roads poorly paved with cobblestones. However, the Maserati parked in front of one of the houses, indicates that the village has departed from its mostly agricultural past and now caters to tourists. it is quite lovely nonetheless.

Cueva de Valporquero

Cave with different touristic tours and activities, all them with a professional guide explaining the cave´s features. With two different levels, the cave offers a tour visiting the seven room in the touristic level, and an adventure activity in the second one. Exhibitions and mountainering.

Reviewed By LexiSpain - Algeciras, Spain

This cave is quite spectacular and the 1 hour guided tour for 6€ was very reasonably priced as the guide was very well versed in the history and geological information on the cave itself. The stalagtites and stagalcites were awesome.

Penalba de Santiago

Reviewed By TrinityVacationHome - Trinity, Canada

All of the cliches about stepping back in time are actually true - we'd say perhaps 400 years or so? (The Mozarabic church is actually about 1000 years old...) We wandered around and above the village soaking up the mountain vistas for hours - above the village we gathered wild chestnuts, walnuts and apples, which were everywhere. The road into the village is a little wild - a narrow one lane for kilometres where you pray you don't meet a returning car (we met only one as we were off-season).
