Candelario

Sausage-making shaped Candelario: its tall stone houses have deep eaves and wooden galleries once used to cure meat, and half-doors called batipuertas guard their entrances. Channels of snowmelt, the regaderas, run down the steep streets. Oak and chestnut woods surround the village on the slopes of the Sierra de Béjar, part of a UNESCO biosphere reserve.
