Navamorisca: Hiking Routes, Natural Swimming Area and Mill History

When planning a trip to Navamorisca, you can choose among different themes: hiking routes, a natural swimming area, and historical links to mills and place names. You can shape your stay around whether you mainly want to hike, plan a swimming break, or learn about the town’s history.

Hiking on Two Routes

The PR-AV 56 Cordel Bejarano hiking trail passes through El Barco de Ávila, Navamorisca, El Losar del Barco, Junciana, Gilbuena, and Palacios de Becedas.

There is also a 12 km circular hike that starts and ends in Navamorisca and passes through Junciana and El Losar de Barco. The route description characterizes it as easy, technically undemanding, and suitable for families. This rating applies to the circular hike.

The information supports two different choices: the PR-AV 56 is defined by a series of several towns, while the circular hike is described as a loop with a specific distance and start and end point. If you are planning a loop, the 12 km distance and Navamorisca as both the start and finish are useful reference points. If you are looking for a route connecting several towns, the PR-AV 56’s stops provide guidance. Check local trail conditions before setting out.

Swimming Area with Picnic Area and Snack Bar

Navamorisca’s swimming area is a natural swimming spot with a picnic area and snack bar. This makes it different from the hiking trails when planning your visit: the focus here is on swimming and taking a break, rather than following a route. You can consider whether the picnic area or snack bar is important to your plans. Check before traveling whether the facilities will be available during your visit.

Mills and Local History

An inventory groups Navamorisca’s two mills with four mills described as being in regular or poor condition. It notes that the machinery in the two mills has been destroyed and that only the millstones can still be identified. This draws attention to the buildings themselves and the millstones mentioned in the condition report.

The place name Navamorisca is also linked to the Muslim occupation of the area. This interpretation concerns the history of the name and adds a linguistic perspective to the story of the mills. The two topics offer different ways to explore local history: the mills are considered in terms of their condition, while the place name is discussed as a historical interpretation.

Plan Your Hotel Stay

For a hiking trip, the routes offer different kinds of guidance: a series of named towns or a 12 km circular route starting and ending in Navamorisca. For a visit to the natural swimming area, the picnic area and snack bar are planning considerations; the mills and the interpretation of the place name may appeal more to visitors interested in cultural history. Consider which topic is most important to your trip, then compare hotels based on your personal requirements.
