La Vera is a region full of character and natural beauty. It is best known for its smoked paprika, pimentón de la Vera, which adds a unique smoky flavor to many local dishes. The landscape here is a mix of chestnut and oak forests, wide open pasturelands called dehesas, and low scrub, creating a peaceful countryside that feels timeless.

The villages in La Vera are picturesque, with traditional houses built from wood, mud, and stone that reflect centuries of local craftsmanship and history. Beyond the villages, you can explore natural mountain gorges where clear, cool pools invite you for a refreshing swim after a hike.

History is all around, from medieval castles standing guard over the valleys to a monastery with a fascinating past, including the story of a Holy Roman Emperor who died there. ​There is so much to discover here, and we hope you enjoy experiencing the beauty of this region.​
