San Bartolomé de Pinares is a municipality located in the province of Ávila, Castile and León, Spain. Only 20 km from Ávila, it has long been important for its livestock.
Named for St. Bartholomew, the village is often associated with the local Herrerian style church Iglesia de San Bartolomé Apóstol.
The teacher and journalist Juan Grande Martín (January 12, 1914 – November 13, 1981) was born here.
