The park is a must-see if you are around. It even deserves a trip if you are visiting Zaragoza and its surrounding (less than 1.5 h from the city, about 20' from Calatayud or the A2). A pleasant park during the hot harsh aragonese summer nonetheless it gets crowded, lovely at fall or spring, calm and relaxing in winter. If you are a Photography lover don't hesitate to take all your gear, but you'd better come on labour days and avoid the high season. First make a preliminary tour to select your working points, and leverage the first opening hours. If you want to make the most of light conditions, a 10 stop filter will let you get rid of passer-by, let alone capture wonderful silky water textures. There's a convenient campsite nearby, economic hotels in Nuevalos, and the austere well nigh sleek hotel next to the park, which occupies the revamped building of an old Cistercian Monastery. My rating here corresponds to this facility, not to the park as such. The inconspicuous outside of the hotel doesn't match the imposing interior hallways around the main entrance court and stately principal stairs. Guest rooms are clean and moderately comfortable, with good heating in winter and AC in summer, and an enjoyable verandah over the park where you can leisurely read or even have a cold dinner on your own during the warm stations, hearing to the natural relaxing white noise coming from the park waterfalls. The place is pretty quiet. The rooms convey kinda monastic feeling - they occupy the space taken by two or three former monastic cells as a matter of fact- and matches the requirements of the average 3 stars Spanish hotel, but would benefit from some revamping, for my taste. The hotel offers Spa facilities, and an outdoor swimming pool during the summer, but I've never enjoyed either of them. The worst experience I've had in the place has been the restaurant. Being the only choice at evening if you are staying there, it offers "wedding style" dishes, I mean far expensive for what you eat. The breakfast buffet is great for the price. I've always found the staff kind and helpful.

The Monasterio de Piedra is an extraordinary destination that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and historical significance. Nestled in the lush landscapes of Zaragoza, Spain, this 12th-century monastery is a haven for those seeking tranquility and an immersive experience in nature. One of the most remarkable features of the Monasterio de Piedra is its breathtaking waterfalls. As you stroll through the park, you'll encounter a series of cascades that create an enchanting atmosphere. The most iconic of these is the Cola de Caballo, or "Horse's Tail," which gracefully plummets into a serene pool, surrounded by verdant foliage and moss-covered rocks. The sight and sound of the water are incredibly soothing, making it a perfect spot for reflection and relaxation. In addition to Cola de Caballo, the park boasts numerous other waterfalls, each with its unique charm. The Caprichosa and La Trinidad waterfalls are equally stunning, with their cascading waters creating a symphony of nature that captivates every visitor. The intricate pathways and wooden bridges that lead you through the park allow for a close-up view of these natural wonders, providing countless photo opportunities. Beyond the waterfalls, the Monasterio de Piedra offers a journey through history. The monastery itself is a marvel of medieval architecture, with beautifully preserved cloisters, chapels, and gardens. The combination of historical ambiance and natural splendor makes it a unique destination where one can appreciate the serene beauty of nature while delving into the rich cultural heritage of the region. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a history buff, or simply in search of a peaceful retreat, the Monasterio de Piedra is a must-visit. The waterfalls alone are worth the trip, but the entire experience is sure to leave a lasting impression.

The Monasterio de Piedra was our favorite stop during our vacation! We went to Madrid, Toledo, Segovia, and Barcelona, this park was hands down our favorite. I would recommend going to this park and leaving the town the same day. Train station in Calatayud is 30 minutes away from the park. I would not recommend the park if you have elderly in the group because of the amount of stairs and the trek inside the waterfall is steep and wet. I wouldn't recommend small children either because it can be dangerous. It's also a peaceful environment throughout the park so having screaming kids running around would ruin the ambience. We did not stay in the hotel because of our budget. We stayed in a town 30 minutes away called Calatayud, the hotel was 5 minutes from the train station, we came by train from Madrid, the trip was about an hour. In hindsight, we wished we did not stay in the town because there was nothing to do, unfortunately the town is not flourishing as it once used to be.
