Herradón de Pinares
Village
Herradón de Pinares is a municipality in Ávila of 526 inhabitants situated at 924 metres above sea level, made up of two quite distinct settlements: El Herradón, next to the río de la Gaznata, and La Cañada, which grew up at the foot of the station on the Villalba-Ávila railway line and today houses the town hall. In the mid-19th century the town had barely 316 inhabitants recorded, according to Pascual Madoz's dictionary, a figure well below its current population.
