Amazing, intimate caves. We basically had a one on one tour. Well preserved, well lit, with a great guide. A hidden gem! Our favorite cave so far, and we’ve visited the ones in Soplao and Slovenia.

100/10 Highly recommend. There’s guided tours, probably every hour, didn’t ask 😬 but we took the last tour that was at 19hs and it lasted 35 min. There’s restrooms, vending machines, a restaurant and souvenir shops.

I have visited this place before. The first time was around 45 years ago, the second time about 30 years ago. When I visited today, there are better facilities, e.g. restaurant, bar, gift shop. The tour is a wonderful experience where you can see the beauty of nature. If you don't speak Spanish you might struggle on the tour.

Great tour. Lots to see. Drinks available at the cave entrance and bar cafe at the base near car park. Ample free parking available. Well worth the visit

A must see cave if you in the area, fantastic view and all great illuminated, 7 degrees Celsius all year around and high humidity.

I had been told it was a worthwhile visit, but it beat my expectations by far. Really spectacular caves and formations.

The walk trough the cave is about 30 min and is a really cool atmosphere. Outside the cave there are a lot of geological posters that explain some of the history and formation of the cave. I managed this pics with an App named Cortex Cam

That tortilla is a free tapas with a beer across the road from the castle in the bodeguilla. OMG So good yum didley umptious 🙃

Interesting and informative guided tour. Buy tickets in tourist office.

Geared up as right-wingers and Francoists..sad but true.

A must visit place. Full of history and artifacts.

Very beautifuls paisage

Good

Expectacular

(Translated by Google) One of the crown jewels of the town of Arenas de San Pedro, apart from its famous Eagle Caves, this sanctuary was founded in 1561 by Saint Peter of Alcántara. Highlights include its 16th-century convent church and the royal chapel, designed by Ventura Rodríguez and decorated by Sabatini. It has a wonderful fountain outside, a small but inviting shaded garden, and ample parking. Access, either by car or on foot, is a pilgrimage route along a road that takes you into a forest to the sound of the river and birdsong. You can visit without a ticket or to visit the museums, but the latter is subject to a timetable. (Original) Una de las joyas de la corona del pueblo Arenas de San Pedro, aparte de sus famosas Cuevas del Águila. Este santuario fue fundado en 1561 por San Pedro de Alcántara. En el destacamos su iglesia conventual del siglo XVI y la capilla real diseñada por Ventura Rodríguez y ornamentada por Sabatini. Tiene una maravillosa fuente en su exterior, un jardín pequeño pero acogedor con sombras y un amplio parking. El acceso, bien con coche, o bien caminando, es de peregrinación por una carretera que te introduce en un bosque al sonido del río y los pájaros. Se puede visitar sin ningún tipo de entrada o para ver los museos, pero esto último con horario.

(Translated by Google) Located in a beautiful place 2.5 km from Arenas, a very nice walk through a forest. Guided tours at 11:30, a donation is given. It is worth it, we visited the monastery, royal chapel and everything was very well explained. (Original) Ubicado en un precioso paraje a 2,5 km de Arenas, un paseo muy bonito por un bosque. Visitas guiadas a las 11:30, se le da un donativo. Merece la pena, visitamos el monasterio, capilla real y todo muy bien explicado.

(Translated by Google) We went walking and the walk is always with the river on your right as you go to see it, it is very beautiful, when we got there we couldn't go to see the museum because we didn't go at the corresponding time. (Original) Fuimos andando y el paseo es todo el rato con el río a mano derecha según vas a verlo, es muy bonito, cuando llegamos allí no pudimos pasar a ver el museo porque no fuimos a la hora correspondiente.

(Translated by Google) The path to the Sanctuary is already a splendid experience. The building and the surroundings are a sea of ​​tranquility and calm. The interior is cathedral-like but small. A nice and quiet place. If you pass through Arenas, it is a must-see. There is also a museum to which you have to donate 2 euros as an entrance fee. (Original) El camino no hacia el Santuario ya es una experiencia espléndida . El edificio y los alrededores son un mar de tranquilidad y sosiego. El interior es tipo catedral pero en pequeño. Un sitio bonito y tranquilo. Si pasas por Arenas, es visita obligada. También hay un museo al que hay que donar 2 euros, a modo de entrada.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful Sanctuary on the outskirts of the city of Arenas de San Pedro. The walk to the Sanctuary is very beautiful along a very leafy road full of vegetation. Its architecture is of great quality due to the hand of architect Ventura Rodríguez. It houses the remains of San Pedro de Alcántara. We couldn't visit the museum, it opened later. (Original) Bonito Santuario a las afueras de la ciudad de Arenas de San Pedro. El paseo hasta el Santuario es muy bonito por una carretera muy frondosa llena de vegetación. Su arquitectura es de una gran calidad debida a la mano del arquitecto Ventura Rodríguez. Alberga los restos de San Pedro de Alcántara. No pudimos visitar el museo, abría más tarde.

(Translated by Google) Well, I wasn't there to see the church. I liked the walk up. It's uphill, but gentle and filled with vegetation. You can drive up without any problem. (Original) Bueno, yo no estuve por ver la iglesia. A mí me gustó el paseo que hay para subir andando. Es cuesta arriba, pero subida suave y con mucha vegetación. Se puede subir con coche sin problema.

(Translated by Google) Nice Sanctuary, worth visiting. The donation is €2 and it is a place where you can breathe tranquility, inside the Sanctuary there is a museum with donated works and they show you a little about the Convent and tell you the history of San Pedro, the truth is that the man who shows you is charming and knows a lot about art. (Original) Bonito Santuario, merece la pena visitarlo. El donativo son 2€ y es un sitio donde se respira tranquilidad, dentro del Santuario hay un museo con obras donadas y te enseñan un poco el Convento y te cuentan la historia de San Pedro, la verdad que el hombre que te lo enseña es encantador y sabe bastante de arte.

Great for kids and adults. Nice ride up through the woods. Would highly recommend it.

We found the price affordable, Gaby is the owner of the business and very pleasant at all times and the horses are very well cared for on his farm.

(Translated by Google) 2-hour walk around the surroundings along trails and tracks. Area of ​​thick, open forest with great views of the Sierra de Gredos and the Tietar valley. We saw pines, oaks, strawberry trees and a couple of roe deer. A beautiful landscape. The horses are very well broken in, they are strong and respond great. We walked at a pace and galloped. Gabi is charming. (Original) Paseo de 2 horas por los alrededores por senderos y pistas. Zona de bosque espeso y abierto con buenisimas vistas a la sierra de Gredos y al valle del Tietar.

(Translated by Google) My partner and I decided to go horseback riding on Sunday. We did a 2-hour route with Gaby and Carmen. The route is a blast through an exceptional place, and Gaby made it very enjoyable by explaining very interesting things to us about her experience and work with horses. The horses are wonderful, good and well cared for. It is a center where you can tell from the first moment that the animals are treated with love and respect. For my partner it was his first experience on horseback and he was so delighted that we will surely repeat it!! I recommend it 100% (Original) Mi pareja y yo decidimos hacer una ruta a caballo el domingo. Hicimos una ruta de 2h con Gaby y Carmen.
