Béjar - Los Pinos - Candelario - Cancho la Muela - Llano Alto - Béjar

Route with a large portion on road but little traffic. Water is available throughout the route (no need to carry a bottle), even in summer. Recommended at any time of year, but be careful in winter due to cold and snow.

We start from the bus station heading towards Salamanca via the old N-630. Just after crossing the bridge, we turn right to enter an area called Los Pinos. A few days ago, a Spanish national mountain bike championship event was held here. Los Pinos is an area with many paths and trails. We will only ascend to the Candelario - Navacarros road via the calleja de la Víbora (towards Garganta del Oso). Once on the road, we head towards Candelario, a lovely mountain village that merits a short visit for its steep and pretty streets. We continue along the road towards La Garganta. This stretch of road is very beautiful and has little car traffic. After passing the boundary with Cáceres, we continue slightly and see a path to the left, the Cancho de la Muela loop. From here there are impressive views of the Ambroz Valley. After finishing the Muela loop, we return by road to the Navamuño dam, which we cross, then turn right to reach Llano Alto, where the hostel is situated. The descent through the Castañar can be done by trails (as in this case) or by road. Don’t hesitate to stop to see the oldest bullring in Spain.
