My tip“Parking inside the village is very difficult, so leave your car at the entrance. Honey and cherries are the region's distinctive produce.”
A stone village in the Sierra de Francia that became famous for a unique art project: the painter Florencio Maíllo hung hundreds of realistic portraits of residents on the house façades, based on ID photos taken in 1967 CE.
What to see
The painted faces on the house façades · the stone streets and houses with timber frames · the free-standing church tower · the Mirador de las Caras and the valley view · honey and craft shops
Easy to reach, needs a car
An hour and 20 minutes from Salamanca by car, and 10 minutes from La Alberca. The alleys are sloping; one to two hours.
