All people who want to enjoy nature in an environment of incomparable beauty, walking through forests of chestnut and oak in the foothills of the Sierra de Gredos Tormantos and, can do along the route of the pylons, the activity of low difficulty / moderate (available for all ages) and a round trip of 7 kms.

In the car park the route starts (well signposted) that ascending pathways with sweeping views of the fauna (living amphibians, reptiles, eagles, vultures, owls, mountain goats, trout, etc..) And vegetation (alder, ash, willow , strawberry, cherry, juniper, heather, etc.) native and accompanied by the sweet sound of water running down the throat will take us to the Pylons, carved into the rock formations naturally by erosion from water flow, causing up to 11 pools or pots of cold water and crystal are connected by waterfalls.

The recommended seasons to make the route are in spring and autumn, when nature is in full bloom of life and color, enjoying of the spectacular landscape, though in summer when more people do this route with the added bonus of being able to swim in its clear waters.
