El consejo del cartero

“Aldeanueva del Camino is the town of the three lies as it is neither a village (aldea), nor new (nueva), nor with a single Camino. This town is in the heart of the Valle del Ambroz, also called “the garden of Extremadura”. This is an enchanted landscape in the autumn due to the diversity of colours, but welcoming the whole year round for its flora and precipitous landscape with continuous gorges. The view is breath-taking. The lush mountain of Castañar del Duque is one of the sweet chestnut groves with the highest density of sweet chestnut trees in Europe. You can also see some remarkable trees: the centuries-old chestnut of and the cork oak of La Fresneda, on the road to Valdematanza. You should also know that our valley is a large producer of cherries and plums of the variety Reina Claudia Verde, offering an amazing landscape during the blossoming season, and, of course, delicious fruits”.
