From El Poyo del Cid you have an excellent view of the Jiloca valley. El Cid set up his camp here during his raids during the Reconquista, hence the name of the place. For this reason, there is a statue in his honor.

A city of transit since ancient times, Calamocha stands in the middle of the extensive plain of the Jiloca, on the right bank of the river. Its excellent geographical situation led to its being an important fortified enclave in the past. In fact, it was the city of El Cid passing through on his way to Valencian lands.
