Arenas de San Pedro

Arenas de San Pedro is a municipality in the southern part of Ávila province, situated in rolling terrain. The town centers around its administrative core with traditional buildings and farming areas spreading across the landscape.

The castle of Don Álvaro de Luna was built in medieval times and shaped the strategic role of this location. Its solid keep tower reflects the military architecture and defense needs of the period.

The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción shows Gothic features through its bell tower and stonework from the 16th century. You can see how local religious life was expressed in this architectural style.

The municipality has good road connections to Madrid, making day trips feasible from the capital. Basic services are available in the town center, so finding what you need is straightforward.

The Águila Caves were discovered only in 1963 and hold natural stone formations within their underground passages. This geological wonder sits away from typical visitor routes and offers a rare glimpse into the hidden landscape of the region.
