Tips from the Community

August 7, 2025, Santuario de Jaraba

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

Town on the Tranquera reservoir, on the Mesa River, where we find places to eat and sleep, and the second checkpoint on the Madrid to Barcelona route.

The La Tranquera Reservoir in Nuévalos is a spectacular place to enjoy nature and panoramic views. Inaugurated in 1959, the reservoir was designed to regulate the flow of the Piedra River and ensure the water supply in the region.

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.

We are in Ateca, a beautiful town in the Community of Calatayud where we can visit the Mudejar tower of the church of Santa María, dating from the 12th and 14th centuries, or the Ateca Fort, built on the remains of a castle of uncertain origin. . In Ateca we can take advantage to recover energy in one of its bars.

An essential corner for nature lovers. The "Pozo Redondo" Waterfall of Calmarza is a charming place that is hidden in the lower part of the town where the Mesa River passes
