Júcar Gorge
Hoz del Júcar
A gorge on the western side of the Old Town where the Júcar River winds past, with emerald-green water, sheer cliffs and a secluded monastery making up a tranquil scene.
The Júcar River curves around the western side of the Old Town, and its water appears emerald green thanks to algae. Caves and small chapels dot the cliff faces. The riverside path is gentle and leads to the Monastery of Los Angustias and the area around the Saint Anthony Bridge. You can also take in the whole river valley from the castle viewpoint. In summer, people paddle kayaks on the river.
