Complejo Camping Godoy

Losar de la Vera five minutes' drive away is the departure point for spectacular hikes, such as the seven-kilometre Castillejo Trail, crossing an oak forest and bringing you down to the clear pools of Cuartos gorge, a kilometre from Complejo Camping Godoy. The Pontoon Trail runs parallel to the Vadillo gorge for smashingly scenic views over the verdant valley below. The waterfalls flowing down into La Vera from the Tormantos and Sierra de Gredos mountain ranges have helped the Tiétar river carve out many mighty gorges to create of beaut natural swimming pools such as Vadillo, four kilometres from base, and the valley of La Vera, a little further afield but still within easy reach. History buffs can visit the 14th-century Valverde de la Vera Castle, nine kilometres away, and the walled market city of Plasencia an hour away, for wanders around its narrow streets and tours of its Romanesque churches, stone palaces and laneway tapas bars.
