Tips from the Community
If you are in Tobera and Frías, you cannot miss visiting the hermitage of Santa María de la Hoz and the medieval bridge over the Molinar river. The temple is from the 13th century, features both Romanesque and Gothic elements, and has a portico with arches that offers good views of the surroundings. At its feet stands a second, tiny hermitage, from a later date – the 17th century – which houses an altar dedicated to Cristo de los Remedios.

It is the upper viewpoint of the waterfalls, but not the best (in my opinion).

Built to span the Ebro River, this stone bridge is an impressive 143 meters long and features nine arches. The central section boasts a slender defensive tower, adorned with battlements and arrow slits, added in the 14th century. In medieval times, passage was controlled from this tower: anyone wishing to cross the bridge had to pay a toll of a few maravedís. The bridge offers one of the best views of the city of Frías.
