Tajo de la Encantada Dam

Highlight • Monument

From this bridge, you leave the village of El Chorro behind and you can see the Tajo de la Encantada reservoir that meanders until it reaches the foot of the Caminito del Rey gorge. Also from here you can see the cave that is part of the enormous Frontales climbing sector.

Caminito del Rey

Highlight • Gorge

The Caminito del Rey is an impressive walk of about eight kilometers along a cliff in which the old walkways have been rehabilitated to facilitate access. It is not possible to do it by bike, but from the road you can appreciate the magnitude of the cliffs and their imposing infrastructure.

Hermitage of Our Lady of Villaverde

Highlight • Religious Site

Next to the current hermitage, which was renovated in the 1960s, prehistoric tombs from the Mozarabic period were discovered, carved into the rock. Near the hermitage, on a promontory, the remains of a watchtower known as the Peñón del Moro were discovered, evidence of the great importance of the enclave at that time.

Las Mesas de Villaverde Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The viewpoint of the Mesas de Villaverde is located on the upper dam of the Tajo de la Encantada, which has a curious Y-shape due to the three hills that surround it. From here there is also an incredible view of the Gaitanes gorge and the adapted walkways.
