Ambroz Valley

The Ambroz Valley is an association of eight municipalities in Cáceres Province, with Hervás serving as the main administrative and commercial center. The area sits between mountain ranges, and the Ambroz River runs through the valley floor.

The Silver Way, an ancient Roman trade road, passed through this valley and connected different regions of the Iberian Peninsula. This historical route shaped the valley's economic importance for centuries.

The municipalities here preserve craft traditions that are especially visible in Hervás, where old houses display traditional architecture and local ways of living. Visitors can see these traditions in everyday interactions and at local markets throughout the valley.

The valley is accessible from main highways in Cáceres Province, with Hervás offering central services including accommodations and tourist information. The autumn season offers the most rewarding visit when the landscape displays its full character.

In autumn, the extensive chestnut forests that cover the valley hillsides transform into shades of red and gold. This seasonal change attracts visitors who come specifically to walk through the falling leaves and experience the woodland at this time of year.
