This venue is situated in the south-west corner of the Castile and Leon region. La Alberca is one of the most important villages in the area - well known for its traditions and customs that date back to the 15th Century. It was also the first village in Spain to be declared a National Heritage Site in 1940. It is located only 70 km from Salamanca with a population of a little less than 1,200 and attracts tourists from all over. Surrounded by four mountain ranges; the Sierra de Bejar from the east, La Peña de Francia from the west, and both the Sierra de Francia and the Sierra de Kilama to the north; La Alberca's landscape is quite a spectacle. The medieval village still preserves its architecture, especially in its town centre where to this day expert blacksmiths and other traditional trades people can be found.

THE ACCOMMODATION

This is a four-star modern rural complex. Participants at La Alberca can enjoy the convenience of one of twenty five chalets, each boasting a self-contained kitchen and a comfortable living area. The two-bedroom chalets are circled around the main dining and meeting room and each bedroom has its own private bathroom. There is a high possibility that you will have to share a bedroom with a fellow Anglo of a similar age and gender.

available dates

People looking for more modern accommodations and slightly higher temperatures than those of Valdelavilla. The complex is not suited to people with disabilities since it is hilly and there are steps leading to every room. This venue offers the chance to see the nearby village on one occasion throughout the week.
