Valle De Finolledo: Heritage, Landscapes and Festivals

Valle De Finolledo showcases historical and landscape features at clearly identified locations. At Monte El Carballal, also known as Zona de la Torreta, a viewpoint offers views of the biosphere reserve. Roman waterways have been preserved here as historical traces.

Culture

Old mines overgrown with vegetation have also been preserved in Valle De Finolledo as historical traces. In Valle De Finolledo, the Roman waterways and the overgrown mines stand side by side as two different forms of visible heritage.

Landscape

The Corral de las Cabras picnic area is located in Valle De Finolledo and features a waterfall, an oak forest and a spring. For a landscape-focused visit, you can distinguish the nature area by its named natural features and the viewpoint by the view it offers.

This results in different points of reference within the landscape themes: the waterfall, the oak forest and the spring belong to the Corral de las Cabras picnic area, while the viewpoint at Monte El Carballal is connected to the biosphere reserve. The two locations can therefore be considered separately without mixing up their respective features.

Festivals

The Día de los Carros celebration includes fireworks, hot chocolate and music. It is celebrated every year on the night from Holy Saturday to Easter Sunday. In Vega de Espinareda, the festival in honour of the Virgen de la O takes place on the weekend around 18 December; it includes orchestras and a wine fair. The two dates can be planned separately according to season and programme.
