Calle Triste Condesa, 1 · Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 15:00

The Arenas de San Pedro tourist office is the town council's and the reference point on the southern slope of Gredos, the Tiétar valley. It is on Calle Triste Condesa, 1, inside the former market hall, in the very centre and a few steps from the castle. It answers on 920 370 245 and at turismo@aytoarenas.es.
Opening hours
It opens Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 15:00 and is closed every Monday. It also closes on 24, 25 and 31 December, 1 and 6 January, 8 September and 19 October. For other public holidays, the Turismo de Castilla y León portal asks you to check. As it opens only in the morning, if you arrive in the afternoon call first or drop in the next day.
What they sort out for you here
The office is the information point for the town and surroundings, and it is the one that organises the guided visits to the castle of the Triste Condesa, Constable Dávalos's castle. It is a 15th-century Gothic fortress, built after Henry III granted Arenas the title of town in 1393 and gave its lordship to Ruy López Dávalos, Constable of Castile. Its popular name comes from Doña Juana de Pimentel, widow of Álvaro de Luna, executed in 1453, to whom John II left the town. General admission costs €3, reduced €2 and children up to five do not pay; visits are guided during opening hours and it is worth confirming them first at the office or on 663 440 799.
It also provides information about the Palacio de la Mosquera, a neoclassical building from 1779 designed by Ventura Rodríguez and commissioned by Infante Don Luis de Borbón: the regional portal refers you to the office for hours and prices, because they change. On the outskirts, at the sanctuary of San Pedro de Alcántara, is the Museo de la Real Capilla, with works such as the San Benito de Palermo by Pedro de Mena; the Junta lists it as closed until further notice, so ask here before going (museum telephone, 920 370 204).
What to combine from Arenas
A few minutes away, in Ramacastañas, are the Cuevas del Águila, with a kilometre of galleries that can be visited all year. If you fancy a walk with history, the Roman road of the Puerto del Pico crosses the sierra to the north. And if your plan is the north face of Gredos and the Laguna Grande, bear in mind that you go up from Hoyos del Espino and that the Plataforma access is regulated and paid.
Tips
Ask at the office for the map of the old town and information on walks before heading to the sierra. If you are going to visit the castle at the weekend, book or confirm the time of the guided visit by phone, because there is no fixed published timetable. And remember that the regional portal warns that hours and rates may change: the office is the one with the information for the day.
