Welcome to Peñalba!

Peñalba de Ávila is a super small village in Spain, way up high in the mountains. It's like a secret hideaway! Only about 123 people live here, which is less than the number of kids in a big school. This little place is spread out over an area about the size of 5 soccer fields. It's so high up, it's like standing on top of a really tall building!

How High is High?

Peñalba de Ávila sits at a whopping 1,073 meters (that's 3,520 feet!) above the sea. To give you an idea, that's taller than 3 Eiffel Towers stacked on top of each other! Being this high means the air is crisp and cool, and you can see for miles and miles. It's a special place with a big view.

A Tiny Town's Big Space

Even though not many people live in Peñalba de Ávila, the village itself covers a good amount of land. It's 23 square kilometers, which is like having a giant playground all to yourself! This means there's plenty of room for houses, maybe some farms, and lots of open space to explore. It's a peaceful spot far from busy cities.

Peñalba's Place in the World

This charming village is located in a part of Spain called Castile and León. It's about 17 kilometers away from a much bigger city called Madrid. Think of it like living in a quiet neighborhood just a short drive from a bustling downtown. Peñalba de Ávila is a special little corner of Spain where life moves at a slower, more peaceful pace.
