Rebollar in the Valle del Jerte: granite architecture and holiday apartments

Rebollar lies on a steep slope on the right-hand side of the Valle del Jerte. The village structure typical of the mountain region includes extremely narrow, winding and very steep streets.

Culture and village character

Residential houses and other buildings such as stables stand on natural granite outcrops in Rebollar. The two Casas del Canchal stand on impressive granite formations and create the impression of hanging houses. Rebollar is considered a living museum of vernacular architecture. Visible features include narrow streets, granite architecture and ecclesiastical art.

The parish church of Santa Catalina is a simple 17th-century building and was renovated recently. Its two-part nave and chancel are structured by round arches and covered by a wooden gabled roof. Its furnishings include a silver pyx in the Gothic-Renaissance style. Bishop Gutierre de Vargas y Carvajal donated it, as can be seen from the coat of arms on the base.

Landscape

The Paseo de los Naranjos viewpoint is planted with ornamental orange trees and offers views of the Sierra de Tormantos. You can give cultural details and landscape views different priorities in your planning.

Routes and excursion destinations

Rebollar has mountain bike route 6 Sierra de Tormantos. The Merendero Garganta la Puria picnic area is one of the excursion destinations in Rebollar, as are the Cascadas Garganta de la Puria.

The SL-CC-28 Garganta La Puria hiking trail leads to the entrance of Rebollar and ends there. The different activity types help you organize your planning between cycling, hiking and other excursion destinations.

The various topics can be given different weight according to their character. Architecture and ecclesiastical art stand alongside landscape views and nature; cycling and hiking form active priorities, while other excursion destinations add a different emphasis. Seasonal references and fixed dates can be considered independently of this. Comparing activities, landscape and culture makes the selection clear without equating the individual topics. The weighting remains open and depends on the topics you would like to combine. This allows you to consider cultural, landscape-related and active interests separately. You can consider the individual priorities independently and combine them into a personal travel plan. A holiday apartment in Rebollar can be considered in your personal planning with regard to the travel period, room category and cancellation conditions.
