The westernmost town of Ambroz-Cáparra, strategically located in the vicinity of the Sierra de Dios Padre.

Several vestiges make up the religious heritage of Santa Cruz de Paniagua, notably the 16th-century Church of San Salvadore, the Church of St. Mary Magdalene and the hermitages of Christ and the Holy Father, where the hermit St. Peter of Alcántara stayed between 1555 and 1557.

The Mozarabic Road to Las Hurdes runs through the town and there’s a natural pool in the vicinity, La Alisea, nestled in the middle of a lush, green landscape. There are two pools, both fed by water from natural streams, and there are recreational areas and food vendors in the summer.

There are other natural swimming holes such as the Balsa de El Bronco, the Balsa de Suertes Anchas and the Charca Azul to cool off on a hot day.

Because of the sheer number of views it offers, we recommend the trail to Sierra de Dios Padre from Santa Cruz de Paniagua as the perfect way to see one of the most important geodesic points in northern Cáceres. On a clear day you can see more than forty villages in northern Cáceres.
