Introduction

This tour will take us to the historic region of La Vera in the north-east of the province; the land which Carlos V chose to spend his last days from among all the places of his vast empire. We will visit historical sites, castles, museums and a monastery; and take part in atavistic festivals, we will bathe in gorges with crystal clear waters among forests with changing colours, we will eat, drink… and dream with the deadly Serrana.

Did you know that...? The Pecharromán Museum was established in 1996 thanks to Ricardo Pecharromán y Morales (Madrid 1949), a promoter of culture, painter and patron. The 17th-century building that houses it was in the past his studio in Extremadura.

Southern facade of San Miguel church

Pasarón de la Vera

The tour starts in Tejeda de Tiétar with a visit to the San Miguel church, a "real jewel", as jotilla (local song) from Tejeda goes, Heritage of Cultural Interest; on its south facade there is a curious votive altar from the Roman times known as the muerte pelona. We proceed to Pasarón de la Vera, declared as an Historical Site; a beautiful mountain village where we will enjoy its popular architecture and get to know the Condes de Osorno palace and the curious Pecharromán museum.
