| · General description: |
La Sayuela stands on a 10,000 square metres farmland which adjoins the Regional Park of Gredos, with all the strength and splendour of the Sierra de Gredos (range of mountains) on one side, and the Valley of Tietar and La Vera on the other, creating spectacular sights from the house throughout the year. The farmland is surrounded by a number of gorges, some of them stand out for their natural swimming pools like the ones of Chilla, Alardos and Santa María, and we can’t leave out Tejea or Blanca.
We can’t forget to mention its climate, owing to our privileged geographic position we can enjoy a microclimate which enables tobacco, cherry trees and peppers to be grown and our streets to be decorated with orange and palm trees. Not in vain this area is known as Avila´s Seville though better known as the Ceiling of Castille and offers water, sun and an excellent microclimate for the visitor to enjoy throughout the year. |
| · Inside: |
| The house has five ample dormitories, all of them exteriors, one of them has double bed and the others are twins, all have bath with outer ventilation and in all we have eliminated the architectonic barriers. |

| · Location & Activities: |
For those who wish to stay for lunch or dinner we offer carefully and slowly cooked traditional food. On Saturdays we have the popular cocido (stew made of meat, bacon, and chickpeas) which wakens your senses since early in the morning. But not less popular are the carillas with tomato (a small soft bean grown in this area), tomato soup, asparagus from La Vera, lean with peppers, fried piglet or kid and good beef. We must not leave out the vegetables and fruits of the land which you can taste any other day of the week. There is a vegetable garden and an orchard with orange, lemon, avocado, pear and other fruit trees, as well as centenary olive and fig trees in our farmland. There are multiple leisure activities you can achieve: you can go on interesting and spectacular guided equestrian routes which can last from one hour to several days, or sail down the river Tietar on canoe whatever your age is (neopreno suits and life jackets are provided for security).
There is also the possibility to go hang gliding and climbing, and for those who prefer to walk whether on guided excursions or by themselves, the Sierra de Gredos has a great landscape interest and the possibility of observing protected fauna such as golden eagle, vulture, stork and others.
The tracks lead to places worth visiting such as Los Hermanitos de Tejea, the refuge Albarea, and La Puente del Puerto where the roman bridge stands as firm as the first day, you can also enjoy playing golf, fishing (without killing) and hunting (hunting parties for all kinds of big game: deer, wild Spanish goat, wild boar). You can go on trip to nearby places of great tourist interest where you can easily get by car, and visit for instance, the Celtic Iron Age Settlement of the first century, prehistoric cave paintings, the Sanctuary of Chilla and the church of La Asunción of the second century in Candeleda (the ceramic altarpiece made in Talavera is one of the most ancient ones in the area). There are some villages declared of tourist interest owing to their popular festivities: the pilgrimage to Chilla, Los Empalaos in Valverde, El Peropalo in Villanueva and El Jarramplás are some of them. |
