SirRichard Says: The old part is located on top of the rock, it is easy to see when you arrive by car, and it gives the village its characteristic "skyline" with all those churches and the castle.
SirRichard Says: Around the original historic centre a new town has been built, where most of the daily life of locals happen. The old narrow stone streets are mainly for tourists now, so if you wanna feel the pulse of real life you better take a walk around the lower part of Puebla de...
SirRichard Says: The castle which is on the very top was built in the 15th century by the 4th count of Benavente. It has been recently restored and houses now the Cultural Hall of the town, although it can be visited at certain times. We didn't beacuse it was closed for New Year, but if you...
SirRichard Says: The Town Hall, with its characteristic facade, is located in the main square too, and it was built in the 15th century. By its left side you will find the TOURIST INFO office.
SirRichard Says: This little church located just beside the main church, at the left, is newer (18th century) but its main facade is beautifully ornamented in baroque style. It is normally closed but you can ask for schedules at the tourist info.
SirRichard Says: This 12th century romanic church is located in the main square, and is easy to distinguish for its bell tower and clock (quite noisy if you sleep in the nearby hotel BTW). This is the main church in town, where the main celebrations take place. Inside, there are tombstones...

SirRichard Says: This is a rural pension of medium-high standard, located in the middle of the historic centre and well conditioned. They have a little restaurant and superb views. It is a good basecamp to explore the lake and surroundings.Doubles about 80? in normal season. It is an old...

These are local giant beans, usually cooked with some chorizo, pepper and maybe potatoes. It is a nice (and cheap) souvenir, but also a must to have at lunch in local restaurants. That way you will have a clue on how to prepare them back at home.

There are useful touristic signboards outside the main buildings, so you can have a little basic info about the monument. Unfortunately, it's all written in spanish (not many foreign tourits around here!).

SirRichard Says: Being built on top of a rock, there are many many slopes to climb when visiting the old part of Puebla. Just take it easy and follow your own path, it is no competition at all. What I did is to stop at the main bars for a break (there are in almost every corner), THAT made...
SirRichard Says: Winters here can be freezing cold, snow is not unusual and in december termometres may go as low as 15?C. It is said to be the coldest village in Spain and, in spite of the idea you might have of "sunny Spain", this can be pretty cold!Besides, the place is located on top of...

I found the public lights all around the place were nice and harmonious. I hate when you walk around a recently refurbished historical place and you find trendy late fashion modern elements that destroy the otherwise magnificient ambiance...

The Sanabria lake is a good place for walking, hiking or even swimming if you come here in summer. There are many little towns around and even summer activities like kayaking, rowing...
It is not far from the village, about 17 kms.
