The Land Around Us

Nuño Gómez sits in Castilla-La Mancha, hills on one side, olive groves in most other directions. Give it a couple of days and whatever you brought with you from the city starts to go quiet.

You are in the Sierra de San Vicente, the wooded northern comarca of the province of Toledo, where Castilla-La Mancha begins climbing toward the Gredos. Its villages, peaks and marked routes are catalogued by the Diputación de Toledo.

  • Marked trails, some flat, some steep
  • Mountain biking and cycling routes
  • Birds, if you know your birds
  • Stargazing in real darkness
  • Swimming in nearby lakes

Birds, Sunsets, Trails

Birdwatching

Birdwatching

Local birds all year, and others passing through on their way somewhere. No binoculars required (but they help).

Sunsets

Sunsets

The sunsets here are the reason your phone camera will disappoint you.

Hiking

Hiking

Waymarked routes run between the villages, so you can walk out and still know where you are. Flat stretches if you want them, steep ones if you don't.
