Hoya Cuevas and source of
the river Cuerpo de Hombre


The frequently snowy summits of the Sierra of Béjar or of Candelario with their well-known silhouette rise over this southern territory of Salamanca that makes up the western sector of the peninsular Central Mountain Range.

With bench marks higher than 2,400 m. this rocky headland includes landscapes of great diversity, enriched by the numerous river currents that rush down from mountainous valleys of unusual
glacier topography.

Chestnut groves and pine groves share the environment with nurtured boulevards, birches and all sort of smaller sized varieties that produce a valuable undergrowth where the wildcat, the marten, the genet and the badger live.

Eagles fly over beautiful mountain villages of peculiar features which convert them into some of the most beautiful of all Salamanca.

Great beauty that will surprise the traveller who chooses to enjoy the
Nature Area of Candelario.
