Parque-Jardín Historico del Monasterio de Piedra — Attraction in Nuévalos

Beautiful natural park in which the water "plays" with the environment creating many awe inspiring waterfalls, rivers, lakes and landscape in general. Of course, the most beautiful places are "la caprichosa", a planar waterfall which creates a curious and almost hypnotic linear pattern as it falls and "cola de caballo", a more cilindric-shaped waterfall with a big cavern behind it and a tunnel connecting the outside near the top of the waterfall, the cave and the piscifactory entrance. Both, the stone-carved stairway access tunnel and the cavern are very slippery due to the waterfall and the water filtering through the rocks, making even some puddles and, in some places, an eternal, continuous rain inside the cavern. The cavern is completely explorable. There is a passageway carved in one of the walls with a handrail and some stairs when needed which let's you access the deepest parts of the cave. From the end of the cavern the outside can be seen through the waterfall and some small, caves can be found in the way there, which, if you don't mind crouching or even crawling in a damp place, can be nice places to explore, as they are practically unexplored due to the relatively small entrances. There are several secondary routes you can take with a small deviation from the main one. All of them imply some high/long stairs or just extra ascents, but what you find at the end of those detours is always worth it, though rarely known and visited. The only drawbacks to this place would be the pricing, as the shops and even the entrance fee itself are quite expensive, and the maps, which are rather confusing and are not all the same, making them easy to misinterpret. Involving the maps the public bath situations are also badly placed, as they are relatively close by, leaving really big portions of the routes without any close by or with easy access to them considering the need to use them. Other than this, its visit is an unforgettable experience which everyone should live at least once...

Absolutely amazing walk, lots of different waterfalls, follow the blue lines, the waterfalls, grottos and different tunnels and the stunning nature make this a must. Food by the entrance of the nature trail was great and good service. We visited the monastery ruins and wine museum after lunch and was a lovely walk. We didn’t stay at the hotel but the inside was beautiful with lots of alabaster details. We were a family with 4 kids of different ages and all them loved it. We visited in the winter and was very relaxed but I guess in the warmer months will be very busy. The spa at the hotel can be accessed without staying at the hotel, and is good. Around you can visit Daroca with its castle, Malanquilla with a really nice windmill and jiloca with a lovely waterfall, where you can park by the big fountain and walk alongside the road to the waterfall. We stayed in Mirobriga village @ Mundobriga countryside house which was fantastically decorated and super comfy, also has a fútbol table and pool table and games room, in summer months a pool as well. Great trip...

Es sorprendente que en una parte de España inicialmente seca, se exhiba tanta vida y color, todas las estaciones son espectaculares pero sobre todo en primavera.Quizá La parte más espectacular es el parque natural, fundado por D. Juan Federico Muntadas. Se trata de bosque, cascadas y chorreras que se han ido creando con el paso del tiempo por el río Piedra. estas formaciones de piedra caliza, por su disolución y acumulación posterior, forman las cascadas y saltos de agua.

Debería ser algo más asequible el precio de la entrada y más siendo una experiencia recomendada para visitar en familia.recorrer el parque solo hay que seguir las indicaciones de las flechas azules, rojas y los carteles informativos, así que no hay forma de perderse ninguno de los puntos destacados. Algunos de los que más me impresionaron, Lago del Espejo, Cascada de Caballo, Cascada la Caprichosa, Cascada Trinidad, Cascada y Gruta Iris o la Peña del Diablo. El Monasterio de Piedra está muy bien preparado para los niños: tienen una zona con columpios y un área para descansar. Después de estar andando un rato se agradece poder sentarse y que los niños jueguen tranquilos en los toboganes y columpios. Opinión personal y entiendo que el conservar la limpieza etc etc se dan puestos de trabajo y vuelvo con el etc etc... Pero es una pena que para poder disfrutar de un espacio puramente creado por la naturaleza tengamos que pagar dinero, lamentablemente así es pero sin duda...
