On the right bank of the Escabas River, it is a narrow pass between rocks. To make the road they had to drill a large mouth in these rocks.

From this medieval bridge, called "Puente Liendre" we can see the waters of the Escabas River, which runs a few meters from the town center and is one of the three rivers (Trabaque and Guadiela) that pass through the municipality of Priego.

The Gate of Hell is one of the tunnels excavated in the rock of the Escabas River. One of the many obligatory stops available in the high mountains of Cuenca. Be very careful when taking photos, the road is very narrow.

A beautiful place for all nature lovers. It is a canyon that we can cross by road, one of the most picturesque in Spain. Enjoying the views do not forget to be careful going through the curves next to the rock walls of up to 400 m. Luckily there is little traffic.

A great place to cool off in the water or rest on the small beach. Clean water and trees provide shade. In summer there may be a lot of people.
