Gredos Eco Village is a rural tourism project on a private estate in La Vera, one of the most sought-after valleys in Extremadura. In June 2026 the Regional Government of Extremadura signed a favourable environmental report. In August 2026 it granted the Calificación Rústica for the tourism complex, valid for 100 years.
