One of the most beautiful spots in the area, if not the most. The road from Jaraba to Calmarza is spectacular, although quite bumpy.

The geography of the town of Ibdes is marked by the Mesa River, which in its wake has created the various ravines and fertile lands that surround the town. Within the municipal area is the spectacular La Paradera waterfall, as well as the so-called Grotto of Wonders, a large cave full of ancient stalactites and stalagmites.

The castle of the Funes, in Villel de Mesa, is located on a large, elongated rock mass with vertical walls, which reach forty meters in height and a little more in length. This ridge is located between the village facing north and south. The southern part rises between the houses and the palace of the marquises of Villel, imposing the castle.

We are in Munébrega, where the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción stands out, of course, in the Mudéjar style and from the 14th century. We can go to see the hermitage of San Cristóbal or the hermitage of Nuestra Señora del Mar y de la Cuesta or the beautiful pond that is in the surroundings with an age of more than 600 years. And if we want to play at getting lost in Munébrega, we can try to find the five Peirones that are scattered throughout the town.

At this point we can take the detour to approach the Sanctuary of Jaraba, an imposing and impressive hermitage located in the Barranco de la Hoz Seca, with rocky walls next to the river canyon. A highly recommended visit if we are in the area. The guided tour is recommended.
