Stone village

Bonilla de la Sierra, a medieval jewel that preserves the charm of another era.

Cave altars from the end of the Neolithic period have been discovered in the area, confirming the presence of ancient settlers. However, the history of Bonilla de la Sierra begins in the thirteenth century, when it becomes part of the Bishopric of Avila, and in the fourteenth century, with the rebuilding of its primitive castle, which will be the residence of the King of Castile John II a century later, and several prelates until the disentailment of Mendizabal in the nineteenth century. It will be known by bonna villa, for being an excellent place of rest. At the beginning of the 16th century
