Pomar de las Montañas

In a land of novels, where the great playwright Alejandro Casona made his way to life, between mountains of all colours as the annual cycle approaches its twilight, a track leads us between chestnut trees and pastures, between pines and birches, next to the river at the bottom of the valley, before climbing up to the crest of the sierra, from where we can see a wide landscape of mountains and distant forests.

Mills, forges and cuerrias for preserving chestnuts are ethnographic remnants of a different life, replaced today by wooden saws, but still with livestock and the harvesting of chestnuts, hazelnuts and walnuts from the farms near Bisuyu.

The evening light fills the tops of the deciduous trees with gold, contrasting with the green pines as if it were a landscape of gold and emeralds.

A simple walk that we can do in either direction, enjoying the silence, the tranquillity, the landscape and the pure air that the lichens of the high area indicate.
