The Las Hurdes natural pools are a true paradise for those who enjoy bathing in natural surroundings. The Cruce de Avellanar Natural Pool is located on the CC-156 road that leads to Horcajo and Castillo, near the turnoff to Avellanar. This pool is distinguished by its serene location next to the Esperabán River, offering a refreshing escape in the crystal-clear waters of the river. The area around the pool has plenty of shade thanks to the surrounding vegetation and does not have a beach bar.

The Chorro de los Ángeles is a waterfall over 200 metres high, directly overlooked by the viewing point that has made it more accessible. It is in Las Hurdes, and belongs to the Ovejuela hamlet, although it can also be reached from Sierra de Gata and in any case you can go by mountain bike or gravel bike along forest trails. The path, especially if done on foot or by mountain bike, allows you not only to contemplate the magnificent landscape of Las Hurdes, but also to smell pine trees, heather and other vegetation. About six kilometres away, there is a signposted detour to the ruins of the Convent of the Angels, which the signs say was built in the 13th century by order of Saint Francis of Assisi. He would have been captivated by nature on his way to Portugal. Today you can walk parallel to a stone alley in excellent condition towards the river of Los Ángeles.
