Discover El Pedernoso
El Pedernoso is a small municipality of the province of Cuenca that embodies the essence of the Manchegan plain. For the pilgrim on the Southeastern Way, it is a stopover that offers tranquility and direct contact with agricultural landscape. Surrounded by vineyards and fields of grain, the town unfolds at a slow pace. Its parish church and Santa Ana hermitage are its main points of interest. Although modest in size and services, El Pedernoso provides the pilgrim with an apacible refuge, ideal for a restorative break and to experience rural life in La Mancha. It is a place to enjoy silence and the vastness of the Castilian horizon.
