Nucleus that is located at a corner of one of the largest meanders in the Ebro River bed and that gives us good views on both sides of the town. There are towers and castles close to the center that have had the function of guarding these historically border areas.

A perfect place to disconnect and let ourselves be transported to the 12th century. This medieval Cistercian jewel was built during the 12th and 15th centuries and the Mudejar and Gothic styles stand out. We can take a guided tour, recommended by many tourists, and/or recover energy with a drink at the hotel, where we can also stay. The Monastery of Nuestra Señora de Rueda is located on the banks of the Ebro river, in front of Escatrón but it belongs to Sástago and the Cistercian order.
