Few places offer such a spectacular and comprehensive view of the the Ibor anticline, with its imposing quartzite ridges and the quarries at their feet, surrounded by vegetation.
You can see the Appalachian terrain and at night, look up and admire one of the best panoramic views of the Milky Way. And what’s more is equipped with a pair of long-range binoculars Set up so you don’t miss a thing – perfect for children if you don’t have your own telescope. Add to that the no light pollution of this secluded corner of the geopark Villuercas Ibores Jara and the fantastic setting of the hillside cork oak forest that surrounds it, the experience is truly complete.
In summer Visitors recommend spending the day cooling off in the natural pool on the Castañar de Ibor river and rounding off the day at the stargazing viewpoint. Is there anything else you need in life?
