Curious and spectacular alignment of natural monoliths, whose name comes from the appearance of being friars peeking through the trees.

Built on the bed of the Tajuña river, the Tajera reservoir offers a wide variety of paths and tracks to explore and appreciate the surrounding landscape. Quite isolated from the big cities, it is an ideal place for those who enjoy mtb combining beautiful views and landscapes.

A place not very visited although it is worth doing if you are in the area. Flanked by the Tajera Reservoir, these curious rock formations owe their name to the appearance of being friars peeking out from among the trees.

Just a few meters from the road and the parking lot is this viewpoint with beautiful views of the Río Dulce ravine and the Gollorio ravine where downstream is the wonderful homonymous waterfall that is worth visiting.
