Candeleda is in Valle del Tiétar. What the area is like and what trips start there

Which way it goes

Gredos makes Ávila province work almost as two: getting from the Tiétar valley to the capital means crossing the mountains over the Pico pass or another Gredos crossing, on mountain roads. The most common internal trips are from the villages to the hospital and station in Ávila, and in the south, between valley villages where buses run only a few times a day.

Muralla de Ávila, seen from Ávila

The medieval wall encircles the whole of Ávila's old town and can partly be walked along the top. Traffic inside is restricted, so visits usually start at one of the gates, and the best overall view is from the Cuatro Postes viewpoint across the Adaja river.

On arrival: Ávila y el Valle Amblés

The city of Ávila, with the Amblés valley below it, holds the hospital, the railway station, public offices and the tourism around the walls. It is where the northern half of the province comes for appointments and paperwork, and the starting point for most transfers to Madrid and Barajas.

When demand peaks

• Santa Teresa fiestas (mid-October): Ávila celebrates its patron Saint Teresa around 15 October, with processions, events in the old town and many visitors from outside. There are traffic closures by the walls and it is best to set the pickup outside the walled area.
• Holy Week in Ávila (March or April): Holy Week processions fill the old town and the area around the walls, and coincide with holiday departures to the Tiétar valley. These are days of many transfers in both directions.
• Medieval Festival (early September): During the Medieval Festival the area inside the walls becomes a crowded market with closed streets. Driving into the old town on those days is difficult.

Tip: To reach the Plataforma de Gredos at a weekend, set off early: the car park fills fast, and booking the return as well avoids being left up there without a car.

What the price includes

• Door-to-door pickup and help with luggage.
