Located in the foothills of the Sierra de Candelario, this is the highest village in the Ambroz Valley at an elevation of more than 1,000 metres.

One of the most highly recommended routes will take you to the Pozo de la Nieve and the Corral de los Lobos. The Pozo de la Nieve was essential for supplying and keeping ice frozen throughout the year, whereas the Corral de los Lobos served as a refuge to protect livestock from wolves.

Visit the El Lobo Visitor Centre, where you can learn all about how wolves live and their relationship with the area’s other inhabitants. You can also learn more about the town at the Visitor Centre.

Explore the wonders of the sky and universe above La Garganta at the Celestial Lookout located near Pozo de la Nieve and Corral de los Lobos, open in summer and autumn. If it’s adventure you crave, take the Bosques del Ambroz Trail from La Garganta to Segura de Toro, or show off your climbing and rappelling skills on the Vía Ferrata de la Muela.

Don’t miss the centuries-old pilgrimage of Los Paporros which happens on Whit Monday, between late May and early June. The pilgrimage is a festive tradition that has united the towns of Béjar and La Garganta around the Virgin of Castañar since the mid-15th century.
