Salamanca

South and east of the golden cities of Salamanca, Cuidad Real and Plasencia lies a region of mountain ranges, river valleys, forests and orchards, fields of wild lavender, medieval hillside
villages surrounded by tiny terraced fields and gardens. Our houses are in the Sierra de Francia, ideal for walking, exploring historic towns and villages such as La Alberca and Hervás, or just relaxing in an area of beauty, tranquillity and fresh mountain air.


Sierra de Francia
The traditional villages of the Sierra each have their own character: Sequeros with its 19th century theatre, two churches, and ancient hermitage in the oakwoods, nearby Villanueva del Conde built round a square of littlevegetable gardens, Los Santos a pleasant mixture of old and new. All share fresh mountain air and splendid views. These and the wild flowers and birds, rich history and robust country cooking make the sierra one of Spain’s best kept secrets.
