Candelario is considered one of the best-preserved villages in the province of Salamanca. With its traditional mountain-style buildings, cobbled streets, “batipuertas”, and many fascinating architectural details loaded with history, it has the capacity to transport us back in time. The weather conditions and cultural traditions of the area resulted in a distinctive architecture, which finds its utmost expression as a Declared Historical Site. A walk through the streets of Candelario will show the prominent use of “batipuerta” (half door protecting the main entryway) and “regaderas” (small water channels along the streets) through which the water from the mountain’s cascades. Perhaps best of all, the town of Candelario is special for the incredible landscape that surrounds it. Its privileged location on the slope of the Sierra de Candelario, right in Macizo de Gredos is one of Spain’s greatest natural attractions. This opens the door to so many possibilities: excursions and adventures in the mountains, hiking, sports, and living the rural life reveling in nature, and breathing its pure air.
