Candeleda, Ávila, Castile and León
Cabins on two hectares beside a mountain stream at the foot of the Sierra de Gredos.
Why we love it
The gargantas of the Tiétar valley are mountain streams that come off the Gredos ridge in a series of granite pools, and they are among the best freshwater swimming in Spain — cold, clear, and busy only in August. This site sits on twenty thousand square metres alongside the Garganta Arroyo-Remolinos, under oak, poplar, mimosa and ash.
Candeleda is seven kilometres away. Madrid is close enough for a weekend, which explains who you will meet there.
Best for: swimming in granite pools within two hours of Madrid
