Welcome to the Ambroz Valley

The Ambroz Valley is a natural treasure nestled between the Tras la Sierra mountains and the Sierra de Béjar. Step into a land of diverse landscapes, including high mountain peaks – more than 2,000 metres high – rivers and gorges, lush chestnut forests, ancient trees and a fascinating historic heritage.

Discover the charming Baños de Montemayor with its Roman spa and historic mountain architecture. Stroll through the historic-artistic centre of Hervás, home to one of the best-preserved Jewish quarters on the Iberian Peninsula and explore the Vettonian past of Segura de Toro. Relive history as you walk the thousand-year-old Vía de la Plata (Silver Way) or the Vía Verde de la Plata (Silver Greenway) bursting with history.

The Ambroz Valley is a nature lovers’ dream. This is nature in its purest form: wander through the Gallego or Duque chestnut groves; marvel at the majestic noble trees in El Temblar and Corbiche; the birch forest in Honduras Pass; or the ancient cork oak in Fresneda.

Discover the majestic Chorrera waterfall in Hervás, the dramatic gorges and crystalline rivers. Cool off in the crystal-clear waters of the natural swimming holes in Casas del Monte or Segura de Toro. If it’s adventure you seek, the Baños de Montemayor Reservoir offers a host of water and fishing activities.

For hiking, mountain biking and bird watching enthusiasts, the valley has more than 200 kilometres of trails and mountain bike routes that will lead you to breathtaking panoramic views. Don’t miss the “Bosques del Ambroz” trail for a panoramic view of the entire region.

Experience the explosion of colours during “Magical Autumn,” a festival of International Tourist Interest. Be one with nature on beautiful hiking and mountain biking trails. Enjoy concerts, theatre and activities for all ages during the magical autumn season.

Unwind at the end of the day at the local spas, where sulphur and mineral-rich waters offer relaxation and rejuvenation. Savour exquisite local cuisine at award-winning restaurants, where tradition meets innovation in every bite.
