Hervás Tourist Office

Hervás tourist office is at Calle Braulio Navas, 6, a step from the Plaza de la Corredera, in the centre of the village. It shares a building with the "Hervás, la historia recobrada" Interpretation Centre, which connects by an inner courtyard with the Pérez Comendador-Leroux Museum: in a single stop you get information, see an exhibition and go into the museum. It is the information point for the village and the whole Ambroz Valley.

What They Sort Out

Here they have the document of hours and prices for the visitable spaces of Hervás and the valley, which the town council updates each season, and the listings of accommodation, restaurants and activity companies. It is the place to ask what is open today, how to climb to the church of Santa María or how to get to the Cáparra site. In chestnut season they explain how to reach the Temblar Chestnut Trees and give you the Magic Autumn programme, which in October and November spreads routes, markets and activities through the valley's villages.

The free tours by Visitas Hervás leave beside the office door, Tuesday to Sunday, and are booked beforehand. If you prefer to go independently, ask for the map and start with the Jewish quarter, a few minutes' walk away.

Hours and Contact

Hervás Tourism does not publish the office hours as text on its website: it refers to its summer and winter timetable document. The district guide Turismo Ambroz Caparra gives, for the interpretation centre in the same building and with the same telephone, these hours: in winter, Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 16:30 to 19:00; in summer, Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 17:00 to 19:00; Sundays and public holidays, from 10:00 to 14:00. It does not appear to be open on Mondays. To confirm, call 927 473 618 or write to [email protected].

The History Rediscovered

The exhibition in the building reviews the village's history and its place in the Ambroz Valley, its origins, heritage and traditions, and the mark of the Jewish community on Hervás's architecture, culture and cooking. Entry is free and it has braille information and audioguides. Seeing it before walking through the Jewish quarter helps you understand what you will find in its streets.

Practical Tips

If you arrive by bike on the Greenway, the Railway Interpretation Centre, in the old station, is the village's other information stop, with free entry. During Magic Autumn, ask at the office which routes and activities require prior registration, and book them as soon as you reach the village.
