We are at the Convento de la Hoz Viewpoint, which offers us beautiful panoramic views of the meanders of the Duratón River and the Hoz Monastery located in the town of La Hoz de la Vieja. It is accessed via a beautiful forest track of a few kilometers and upon arrival it impresses you with its spectacular views. Highly recommended!
