El Hornillo 

This town is situated at less than one mile from the guesthouse. It has an extraordinary free of charge natural swimming pool and pool of water for your enjoyment.  Their traditional celebrations are on April 25th, on December 27th (the Feast of Saint John) and on August 15th, the Cherry Blossom Festival.

Two other charming towns, El Arenal and Guisando are less than 2 and 4 miles away.

These three towns are of quite historic similarity thanks to their situation, built on the south side of the Gredos Ridge.  Their traditional homes are built with stone, adobo bricks and wood in a setting of steep streets and alleys giving them a very special atmosphere.  The people are merry and hospitable.  On festive days, they dress up to the hilt.
