In addition, the park has an Interpretation Center that provides additional information and historical contexts to enrich the visit. 🌄🚶♀️😎 🐶 DOGFRIENDLY-SE ADMITENTE DOGS

It is a route that can be done perfectly on a mountain bike or on foot, as it does not entail any danger. In my case I found lush vegetation that sometimes hid the path, but otherwise it is highly recommended.

Built by the Order of Santiago, construction began in 1529 while Charles I reigned and was completed in 1735 under the reign of Philip V. Monumental construction that leaves no one indifferent, and that during the civil war was first a hospital for one side and later a prison for the other. You can visit it by paying an entrance fee and it is no longer used as a guest house because only one monk lives there, who possibly does not reside there at the time I write this chronicle.
