El Tiemblo

El Tiemblo is a municipality in the Alberche River valley in Ávila Province, bordered by two large reservoirs. The town spreads across gentle hills and green areas with residential neighborhoods and public facilities.

In 1445, King Juan II of Castile granted El Tiemblo the status of villa through a royal charter, establishing its political independence. This elevation marked the beginning of its development as an independent settlement in the region.

The Parish Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción shapes the town center with its Renaissance design and houses a notable 15th-century Virgin and Child sculpture. This sacred space reflects the community's connection to its spiritual heritage.

The town has schools at all levels, from kindergartens to secondary institutions, providing basic education services for families. Visitors will find essential services and infrastructure for a comfortable stay.

The Valle de Iruelas Natural Park on the municipality's territory hosts one of Europe's largest black vulture colonies within a forest area containing centuries-old chestnut trees. This protected natural zone attracts bird watchers and nature lovers who can observe these rare raptors in their natural setting.
