Naturgredos
Extremadura
A sixteenth-century rural house below the Sierra de Gredos, and one of the province's first birdwatching centres.
Why we love it
The house dates from the sixteenth century and was restored in 1998; guests have been staying since 2003, which by the standards of Spanish rural tourism makes this an early adopter rather than a bandwagon. It was among the first birdwatching centres in the province, and the owners were doing ecotourism in Extremadura before the word was in common use.
Gredos has griffon vultures, black storks and Spanish imperial eagles. Bring binoculars or borrow theirs.
