Torres del Estena is a fascinating place in the Cabañeros National Park, located near Navas de Estena in the province of Toledo. These geological formations consist of three rocks aligned with each other. Their peculiarity and beauty make them one of the icons of the Boquerón de Estena trail. Under the tower on the right, there is a cave or small rock shelter that, until 1932, housed a hermitage known as El Tío Cestero.

The path continues to gain height and, after crossing a rocky section with the help of chains – which is very helpful if the ground is wet – reaches the Chorrera Chica. It will not be difficult to observe the flight of some birds of prey or the griffon vultures, very present in the skies of Cabañeros, and, with a little more luck, come across a deer that comes to drink from the stream.

Before reaching the end of the route, you can see the footprints in the rocks of a giant marine worm from 475 million years ago. The ocean current left these traces of the worm's movement on the seabed.

In Cabañeros, columnar formations of quartzites originated by the differential erosion of the terrain. The uniqueness of the Torres del Estena is due to the fact that they are part of a tectonic gap that was formed due to the friction movement of a fault
