A WHOLE EXPERIENCE....
Cycling through history and nature, from Cáparra to Jarilla.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

Can you imagine if the Vetons and Romans raised their heads and saw you arriving to their territories aboard an electric bicycle? What would they think? We will never know, but we are sure they would try one and they would set out to discover these fantastic lands.
We propose a beautiful e-bike route of moderate level, accompanied by a local guide who will show you the path of history along which you will ride. You will start in the Roman Villa of Cáparra with a visit to the interpretation centre and the most desired photo at the emblematic Arch of Cáparra. You will continue through the extensive pastures of Oliva de Plasencia, where you will meet with a free-ranging cattle ranch and enjoy an interpretation of the pastures of the wastelands. An ideal location to see the Ambroz Valley surrounded by holm oaks and cork oaks. From the pasture, you will pass to the oak forest until you reach the low mountain, in Jarilla. You will get higher and higher surrounded by oak trees until you reach the Piedras Labradas, an ancient Vetón settlement where you will learn about its history. You will discover what the city of Cáparra meant to them and how the Romans encouraged them to leave their settlement and join them and their religious beliefs.
It is time to relax and contemplate the spectacular views of the Ambroz Valley and Tierras de Granadilla while enjoying a picnic of local products. A totally personalized experience that will make the north of Extremadura your unforgettable getaway.
