Jarandilla de la Vera

Once a part of Lusitania, Jarandilla de la Vera is one of the most picturesque villages in the region. It’s wedged between mountains and gorges and is located in a privileged natural environment. The river gives the town a lot of life and the townsfolk gather on the shores to chat, take a walk, or simply enjoy the views.

In Jarandilla, there’s a lot to do. You can visit the countryside, the monuments, the Castle of the Counts of Oropesa (now a Parador) or the Parral Bridge built by the Romans. For fans of hiking, there are several routes you can do: the Bridge Route, the Jaranda Bridge

A weekend escape is nice any time of year, and I’d suggest heading out to discover Jarandilla. There is a lot to see and, for me at least, I find it very relaxing. It lets me recharge my batteries to go back home rested. I go to places like this a lot, in fact. It’s really worthwhile.
