This mountain range is the highest in the whole province. Its summits, frequently snowy, evoke a well-known image for the people of Salamanca because it stands out on the southern horizons of this territory. The characteristics of the settlements of this area show a clear environmental adaptation with architectural elements of unquestionable picturesquesness and worth. All these singularities have allowed great part of this territory to be included inside the Nature Area of Candelario, which contributes even more to the attractiveness of the visit. Skiing and Mountaineering Any visit to this area should consider the possibility of climbing to the top of its summits. Here, in altitudes higher than 2,000 meters, varied leisure activities can be carried out in contact with one of the most privileged nature areas in Salamanca. To do this, you will have to go to the Covatilla ski resort where you can practice the sport, or take the road that will take you to La Plataforma from Candelario. Any one of the accesses will allow you to travel the numerous roads and paths that go along these summits. Historical towns and Calzada Romana The historical towns of the district offer you another possibility to carry out an interesting route that will take you to the steep streets of Candelario, where you will hear the rippling of its lively river currents and visit the streets of the old city of Béjar locked within its Arab walls. After visiting the famous textile city you might enjoy visiting the medieval village of Montemayor del Río. Very near by, you will come across one of the most important historical areas on the whole peninsula: the Calzada Romana de la Plata. If you desire, you can go into it in search of Roman bridges, cobblestone roads and milestones that will lead you to Salamanca and, even still, to Astorga. And, above all, enjoy the incredible forests everywhere, because they contain some of the most beautiful corners in the whole province.
