CANDELARIA EXPERIENCE – MADRID’S SPECIAL RETREAT
Really closed to Madrid City, there is Candelaria Experience, this hotel is born from the willing to share the enthusiasm for life and their passion for nature and sports at the spectacular Sierra de Gredos. In the southern part of Gredos, you will find amazing landscapes full of oaks, small lakes and crystalline waterfalls descending directly from the highest peak, the Almanzor.
All of this makes the majestic mountain range of Gredos an authentic paradise for its flora and the most important species of its fauna: The Hispanic wild goat. This area is very special, not only because of its particular microclimate that has very pleasant temperatures during the whole year, but also because of the numerous interesting places which influenced our history, art and tradition such as The Old Roman Road (in Puerto del Pico), The Grottos called Las Cuevas del Águila and nearby traditional towns as Candeleda or El Barco de Ávila.
