Within the great beauty of the Enchanted City of Chequilla are the Towers, near the Church Square.

This viewpoint is located in a privileged place in front of a spectacular rocky cliff, which if you pass by on your bike on a hot day when the heat reflects its image on this wall... I think you'll have to stop and rest for a few seconds.

This is undoubtedly one of the Tagus's great wonders. Crossing the beautiful river on a suspension bridge like this one, where motor vehicles are prohibited, reduces the number of crossing options. Walkers and cyclists can enjoy the oscillating motion experienced by the bridge's anchorage. Absolutely recommended!

These rock formations create a very unique setting at the entrance to the town of Chequilla. Erosion over hundreds of thousands of years has formed these whimsical figures that serve as a tourist attraction for anyone who visits this small town.

This suspension bridge is truly a symbol of the area, allowing you to cross the river from one bank to the other with truly unique views. As you ride your bike across, you can observe the movement and the noise caused by the weight of the straps. If you don't suffer from heights of height, you can enjoy the Tagus River from there.

From there to the waterfall houses there is a short stretch where you have to get off your bike since the path is more for trekking, but it is short, about 500m

Peralejos de las Truchas, Plaza de la Fuente, monument in honor of José Luis Sampedro. José Luis Sampedro Sáez (February 1, 1917 in Barcelona; April 8, 2013 in Madrid) was a Spanish economist, humanist, and writer. As a humanist, he frequently criticized the social and moral decline of Western society, neoliberalism, and the dark side of capitalism. In an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, Sampedro criticized European capitalism and compared it to the end of the Roman Empire: "Back then, it was the barbarians who invaded the Roman Empire, undermining it from within and ultimately bringing it down. It was a smooth transition. And today we are once again experiencing a time of transition, from a capitalist society to a technological one. There's a word for it in science: entropy. Something grows until it collapses under its own weight."
