Discover Pelabravo – holiday apartment between the Tormes, dehesa and culture

The municipality of Pelabravo lies on the banks of the Tormes River. The stream known as the regato de la Rivera channels its water into the Tormes River and drains the municipality in the settlements of Naharros del Río and Las Orquídeas. Different perspectives stand side by side in how the area can be experienced: a geographical connection with nature, a specific cycling route and named cultural sites. You can consider these themes separately and organise your daily plans around landscape, history, art or events.

Nature and cycling route

The 35-km Ruta de la Batalla de Arapiles cycling tour passes through the municipality of Pelabravo. In the surrounding area, it runs through the open landscape of the province of Salamanca and through a holm-oak dehesa typical of the province. The route length makes the scope of the tour transparent, while the two landscape forms mentioned offer a distinct perspective on its course. When planning personally, length, landscape character and thematic focus can be viewed as separate points of comparison.

Culture and history

Pelabravo has a parish church called Iglesia San Juan Bautista, which forms part of the area’s architectural heritage as a building from the late 18th century. The Torre de Pelabravo is a square building made of lime-mortar masonry, with sides measuring 5.8 m and walls more than 1 m thick. Pelabravo is also part of the mural-painting route in the Peñaranda comarca. When considering historical themes, you can place sacred architecture, specific architectural details and a regional art route side by side as different cultural points of interest.
