Casa Rural Montesa

A 800 meters de altitude above sea level, in the province of Salamanca y a 25km de the capital, we find a humble and beautiful village of Castilian airs. This is San Pelayo de Guareña , locality of the District of Ledesma , which drinks from the Rivera de Cañedo , whose mouth is produced in the River Tormes .

It rises between valleys, mount and oaks , in a zone of plains , with soils of granite, quartz and clay, as well as limestones and marls. Sus forests , of cork oaks, oaks, oaks, chestnut trees and pines, give home to a great variety of protected species , some of them, in danger of extinction. Among them, wolves, badgers, rabbits, ferrets, foxes, weasels and otters, black storks and vultures, owls, among bushes of thorns, thymes, brambles or brooms, among others stand out.

A natural environment of this exceptional level deserves to do long excursions for its landscapes, such as the Route of Arribes del Duero , in which we can discover the beautiful canyons of the river. In addition, there is a via cattle ranch , Cañadas de las Negras , which is organized routes that are very worthwhile.

The town, perhaps unknown to many, is an authentic archaeological treasure , having a large rocky set consisting of excavations that, in ancient times, were used as Hermit Caves .

In addition to enjoying natural landscapes of great beauty, the town has a historical helmet of great value, led by Romanesque church , whose interior is organized as amphitheater . This is located at Plaza del Moral , meeting point of the town.

When the day asks for a stop along the way, there is nothing better than knowing the area through its gastronomy. In this sense, you can visit the farm Espino Rapado , of brave livestock, or make a visit to the nearby Villa de Ledesma , in which, after surprising us discovering its streets, we can degustrate regional products that insurance they will make us mouth water.
