Hiking

Striking about the houses are the stone support beams above the doorposts. Religious texts are engraved on them and there are dates from the 1700s and 1800s. After the reconquista, when the area was repopulated, many Jews came to live in the village. Because the church forbade the Jews to practice their religion, they had to prove that they had joined the Catholic church by engraving biblical texts above their houses.

One of the most beautiful towns in Spain with a very particular charm, one of those towns that deserves to be visited and explore its picturesque streets. Located in the heart of the Sierra de Francia Park, the town also offers many options for trails and paths to explore this beautiful Natural Park.

Hiking

La Alberca, in Salamanca, is one of those places that has earned on its own merits always come to the fore when talking about the most beautiful towns in Spain. Not by chance, it was the first rural town in Spain declared a National Historical Monument, back in 1940, and since then it has proudly defended all the charms that make it an ideal destination for a weekend getaway.
