LOS PIZORROS

The most spectacular Pizorros, due to their size, are el Pizorro del Comendador -the most eastern one, located next to La Fuente de la Parrilla-, El Pizorro del Chaparral-the one with the highest altitude-, El Pizorro Cuchillo -the most picturesque, by the cut of its north face-, El Pizorro de Guedea and El Pizorro de San Miguel.
Crossed by the Guadalén River, the area where all of them arise, it has been inhabited at least from Rome, as we can see in the Roman site of El Gollizno – one of the lowest-altitude pizorros.
In this place we can also find the Guedea farm -oriented to small hunting, and usually visited by the European Royalty- as well as Los Baños de Brochales, old thermal baths that used the medicinal waters that arise under El Pizorro Cuchillo.
You can also see a multitude of ethnographic elements such as the stone walls of the old Guadalén reservoir – today Charco de las Campanas-, some abandoned inns, old waterwheels or the typical huts that serve as shelter for the endemic red partridge.
