Bernuy-Salinero: Archaeology, Mountains and Historic Sites

Archaeology and Culture

Bernuy-Salinero: The Dolmen del Prado de las Cruces was designated a cultural asset (Bien de Interés Cultural) in the category of an archaeological zone.

For visitors weighing up culture and nature, it makes sense to consider the individual topics separately at first. This makes it clear whether the main focus is on archaeology, landscapes or historic sites.

For 2026, the Aula Arqueológica was scheduled to open to the public on weekends from July to September; groups were to be limited to a maximum of 20 people.

The Aula Arqueológica-Centro de Interpretación del Dolmen de Bernuy Salinero has an exhibition room and a workshop room.

It was established in the former school of Bernuy Salinero and is also intended to serve as an astronomical observatory.

Opening hours, group size and room layout can be considered as separate questions when planning your visit. A varied stay does not have to result in a fixed programme; individual topics can stand alongside one another according to personal interest.

The Iglesia de San Pedro Apóstol de Bernuy is located at Calle Iglesia 20 in Bernuy-Salinero (Ávila).

Landscape and Nature

The Cañada Real Soriana Occidental is recognised as a protected drove road and an important ecological corridor.

For travel planning, two different landscape perspectives are presented here side by side: the named drove road and the ecological corridor. Both terms draw attention to different characteristics of the same element.
