Viewpoint located over the Strait of Priego, which offers us panoramic views of the Alcarria. We can perfectly distinguish the sierra in front with the Alto de La Degollá, the strait in the Hoz de Priego and the town of Priego with its castle tower and bell tower.

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.

Also known as the Torre de Despeñaperros, the ruins are the only ones still standing of the monumental complex that extended over vast areas in the Cuenca area.

Wonderful place that you can visit at any time of the year. It is usually more crowded in the summer months since the beach located here is an ideal place to enjoy a refreshing bath in its waters. It also has parking from where you can start your routes.
