Ciudad Encantada

We will walk a circular path 3 km long through the peculiar limestone formations eroded over millions of years. The first, the famous Tormo Alto, appears at the beginning of the trail with an impossible shape with a narrow base and a wide "head". The Ships follow, immortalized in Conan the Barbarian and The Head of Man. The path then turns to leave the Roman Bridge and La Foca aside before entering the Tobogán, a gorge of more than 100 m. long and just a couple of meters wide. A little further on we will be amazed by The Elephant and the Crocodile, we will cross the arch of the Convent and we will find ourselves in the Plaza Mayor surrounded by giant Mushrooms. We will start the way back where we will admire La Tortuga, Los Osos and Los Amantes de Teruel. During the tour we will also find the most characteristic plant species of the Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park: huge pines, yews, ivy and junipers
