Jerte Valley Tourist Office

The Jerte Valley regional tourist office is at the Peñas Albas spot in Cabezuela del Valle, halfway up the valley. It is run by the Mancomunidad del Valle del Jerte and gives information on all the villages in the valley: trails, nature reserves, accommodation, restaurants and activity companies, and the calendar of the valley's two big seasons, the cherry blossom spring and the Otoñada (autumn colours).

Hours and contact

Open Tuesday to Thursday from 9:00 to 15:30, and Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 to 14:00; closed Mondays and Fridays. Phone numbers: 927 472 558 and 609 414 796; the latter also answers on WhatsApp and Telegram, the most practical if you want to ask something specific before travelling. The email is [email protected]; the website itself warns that its contact form does not work and asks you to write directly to the email.

The cherry blossom

It is the star enquiry every spring. The valley has more than a million and a half cherry trees, and the date of the blossom changes every year: in 2026 it was, approximately, from 20 March to 3 April, and the first signs are usually seen in late February or early March. The office publishes the blossom status on its blog when it has information, and answers by phone, email and WhatsApp. Its advice: go midweek, when it is quieter, and visit several villages, because the blossom starts in the lower areas and finishes in the higher ones.

It also gives you the programme of the Cherry Blossom Festival, of National Tourist Interest, which each year opens in one village and closes in another (in 2026, in Tornavacas and in Casas del Castañar), and suggests two driving routes: the circular one through the sierra, of about 50 km, which is our route through the sierra villages, and the linear one beside the river along the N-110, of about 30 km.

Trails and the Garganta de los Infiernos

Ask here for the maps and leaflets of the trails: the Los Pilones trail, the Caozo waterfall or the Charles V trail, the 27.7 km crossing to La Vera. The office also explains the rules of the Garganta de los Infiernos Nature Reserve: the car park at the entrance is paid from mid-March to late October, you cannot enter by car and dogs must be on a lead.

If you travel with a dog or without a car

The office has a list of accommodation that admits dogs: ask for it by email or WhatsApp before booking. If you arrive without a car, they will guide you on the Plasencia bus, run by CEVESA, which stops at Navaconcejo, Cabezuela del Valle, Jerte and Tornavacas.

Near the office

As you are in Cabezuela del Valle, spend a while on its old quarter, the old Jewish quarter of La Aldea and the Cherry Museum: you have the page at Cabezuela del Valle and the Cherry Museum. For eating in the centre, Judería Valle del Jerte is beside the church of San Miguel.
