Pinofranqueado

Pinofranqueado has served as a municipal centre for the scattered hamlets of Las Hurdes in northern Extremadura since the 19th century. The town lies in the valley of the Río de los Ángeles, a tributary of the Alagón, amid the steep, wooded terrain that defines this inland corner of Spain. Its municipality includes small alquerías, where slate construction and narrow hillside lanes reflect the area’s traditional rural settlement pattern. Las Hurdes acquired a lasting place in Spanish cultural history through Luis Buñuel’s 1933 documentary Las Hurdes: Tierra sin pan. Local roads and walking routes lead into a terrain of streams, ravines and low mountain ridges.
