Hornazo of Salamanca. The best traditional flavour
Fiesta and hornazo go frequently together in Salamanca. But the real celebration that gathers both is the Lunes de Aguas (Watery Monday), when local people go out for picnic to celebrate the end of Lent and Holy Week.
Chickpea from Pedrosillo: the perfect chickpea
The fame of the chickpea from Pedrosillo gets that far that in the rest of Spain other types of small chickpeas are also named pedrosillano chickpeas. They come from the municipality of Pedrosillo el Ralo, in the region of La Armuña, though they are also cultivated in the bordering villages.
Teresian Route: from Ávila to Alba de Tormes with Teresa of Jesus
The route "From the craddle to the grave" links the cities of Ávila and Alba de Tormes, both Teresian by excellence, thus offering the pilgrim a historical and spiritual tour after the footprints of the Restless Saint.
Las Honfrías Path
Around the environment of Linares de Riofrío we can find La Honfría, a thick forest full of hollies, chestnut trees, hazelnuts, wild cherry trees, elder and Pyrenean oaks.
Sendero de los Frutos
There is an easy 9 km long return route from the village of Ahigal de los Aceiteros to the setting of La Carrasquera.
Camino de los trasiegos
The first part of the Camino de los Trasiegos route is located over a beautiful stony path which connects the villages of San Miguel de Valero and Valero.
Cherry of Sierra de Francia
If there is a fruit that identifies Salamanca, it is the cherry. Most of the villages, as Madroñal, Villanueva del Conde, Sotoserrano, Garcibuey or Cepeda, have small familiar exploitations that in 2007 led to the creation of the Certification Mark, Cherry of the Sierra de Francia.
