Bedar
Situated in the foothills of the mountain range of the same name, Bédar still retains the charm and tranquility of times gone by. Both the panoramic views from Bedar and the countryside around Bedar are extraordinarily beautiful. In the mountains you will find groups of very pretty farm houses which are good examples of rural architecture. Almost every house in the village, with its steep, narrow streets, is situated in a privileged position with a great vantage point from which to look out over incredible views. The town is a favorite retreat for artists and those searching genuine beauty and tranquility without total isolation.
In the winter the village is quieter, although the country life and the village bars and restaurants sustain a pleasant and charming atmosphere.
The area nearby is of particular interest to geologists. Bédar saw years of prosperity during the exploitation of the lead mines in El Pinar which remains an affluent somewhat exclusive place to live, now along with nearby Serena.
