Experiences · Families
Experience the village as a family: pallozas, crystal-clear rock pools, shared adventures and nights of fire and stars for all ages.
The experience
Every August, when the summer sessions end, the village changes inhabitants: the families arrive. Mums, dads, kids and even grandparents settle into the pallozas to experience together what usually only the youngest get to tell stories about when they come home from camp.
No experience or fitness required: there are activities for all ages and every family sets its own pace. You can rise early to hike up the gorge or laze in the sun; sign up for everything or simply let the hours drift by among the oaks.
The only rule is to switch off: here the screens take a holiday, and conversations return to the table, the trail and the fire.
What's included
A complete stay in the village for the whole family. For specific dates and terms, see the booking system.
Each family stays in the village and sleeps in the hillfort's authentic conical roundhouses. An experience in itself.
Mums, dads, little ones and grandparents all join in together: nobody watches from the sidelines here.
Camp cooking for the whole family, with plenty of time to linger over lunch in the shade of the oaks.
Playtime for the little ones, adventure for the older ones and quiet moments for anyone who wants them.
Evening shows, Celtic legends and starry skies free of light pollution: the best screen is the Milky Way.
A few days without rush or screens, to do together what there's almost never time for.
Day to day
A rhythm designed for sharing without stress: activity when you feel like it, water when the heat kicks in and fire when night falls.
At dawn
The village wakes up slowly. Breakfast together and the day's plan: each family decides what to join.
In the morning
Rope games, archery, hiking or kayaking: activities designed to be done together.
At midday
A swim in the gorge, a home-cooked lunch and an optional siesta in the shade. This is what August in Gredos tastes like.
In the afternoon
Games for the little ones and strolls around the mill and the shepherds' shelter for the history lovers.
At nightfall
An evening in the village: legends, music and a sky you can no longer see from the city.
Featured activities
A taste of what awaits you in August. Every family joins in at its own pace, with no rigid timetables.
Courses and challenges among the trees for all ages, with harnesses and instructors watching every step.
Mornings swimming in crystal-clear mountain water, a short walk from the village. August's favourite plan.
Family tournaments on the archery range: aim, laughter and friendly rivalry across the generations.
A gentle kayak outing paddling in pairs — little ones with grown-ups, laughter guaranteed.
Reenactment, storytelling and Celtic atmosphere around the 13th-century mill and the 18th-century shepherds' shelter.
When the sun goes down, the village comes alive: music, legends and a campfire under the stars.
