    Hiking

    It is low and you have to pass crouching. It is important to bring light.

    Hiking

    Cave on the slope of Ecce Homo hill. This cave is called "de los Gigantones" because legend has it that ojarancos inhabited it: creatures from Castilian mythology giants with one eye and hair like wild boar bristles. It is also known as "del Champión" since it was used for its cultivation. During the Civil War, it housed several family members who sought protection away from the urban nucleus.

    Hiking

    Entrance where you have to enter crawling for 4 meters that later you can continue walking on foot. Very big, it looks like a maze. It is recommended to go with powerful flashlights, there are also small bats.
