Tajo de la Encantada Dam

Highlight • Monument

From this bridge, you leave the village of El Chorro behind and you can see the Tajo de la Encantada reservoir that meanders until it reaches the foot of the Caminito del Rey gorge. Also from here you can see the cave that is part of the enormous Frontales climbing sector.

Las Mesas de Villaverde Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The viewpoint of the Mesas de Villaverde is located on the upper dam of the Tajo de la Encantada, which has a curious Y-shape due to the three hills that surround it. From here there is also an incredible view of the Gaitanes gorge and the adapted walkways.

Entrance to the Mozarabic Ruins of Bobastro

Highlight • Historical Site

This architectural complex is made up of a necropolis and a cave church of Mozarabic origin; it stands out not only for its surroundings but also because the church is completely carved out of the rock. It can be accessed during visiting hours, from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10:00 to 15:00. The entrance fee is 3 euros.
