What to do in Cuevas del Valle

Cuevas del Valle is a small municipality in the Barranco de las Cinco Villas Valley, on the southern slopes of the Sierra de Gredos. Together with Mombeltrán, San Esteban del Valle, Villarejo del Valle and Santa Cruz del Valle, it forms the Cinco Villas, a group of mountain villages with stone and timber architecture preserving the rural essence of Gredos. The village is a base for adventure activities: canyoning, climbing, via ferrata, horseback riding and hiking in the sierra. Local active tourism companies operate from here, taking advantage of the natural wealth: gorges, chestnut forests and the Gredos peaks just kilometres away. The Roman Road of Puerto del Pico, connecting the plateau with the Tiétar valley, crosses the area and is a spectacular historic route. The Cuevas del Águila, one of Spain's most visited caves, are 10 km away. 1h 30min from Madrid via the A-5. The village has rural accommodation and restaurants with mountain cuisine.
