In 1556, when the emperor Charles V renounced his two crowns, he began a last trip that took him from the Cantabrian coast to his definitive residence in the monastery of Yuste in Caceres. Peñaranda de Bracamonte We propose this route that follows his last itinerary toward the chosen secluded place of La Vera. From Medina del Campo, during his journey through the lands of Salamanca, he visited Peñaranda de Bracamonte. There you can enjoy a walk through its arched squares, its parochial church of the XVI century and the countless works of art that it has in the museum of the M.M. Carmelitas. Macotera From there we will continue on to the village of Macotera, with the magnificent parochial church of Santa María del Castillo, of the XV and XVI centuries, and beautiful Mudejar art. The landscape begins to become ridged and covered with oaks in Alaraz, where we can visit the church of the XVI-XVIII centuries and the hermitage of Christ. His majesty arrived at Gallegos de Solmirón on Monday, November 9, 1556, and, after spending the night, travelled to Barco de Ávila, in the neighbouring lands of Avila.
