Beautiful!
This national park is stunning. It was a hot day but there was plenty of shade to walk up to the 'Monasterio' There are plenty of picnic tables (merenderos) to stop at on the way. We decided to have a picnic and sit on the rocks by the river admiring the tranquility and calmness of the river and its stunning views. We had tried to visit on another ocasion at the weekend but the car parks were full. This time we went much earlier and on a weekday and didn't have a problem parking. Definetly worth a visit!

A must if you have time
A wonderfull walk surrounded by nature, leading to an old monastery. Free guided tours in spanish. Arriving to a car park in high season there is a complimentary bus takes you from the visitors center to the monastery side. You will need to collect your ticket, and pre-book your seat acording to the schedulled buses. It´s very common to walk towards the monastery, and there are 2 routes leading to it. one follows the road, the second one is on a medium - hight dificulty route. It can take aproximately 1.5hrs to do the one way , and added point is that you can now have something to eat on the new bar blended in nature by the monastery, so you can have a " bocadillo" very decent size very good price. Public toilets also available there. At least count spending 3 hrs if doing this and more if walking both ways. If taking the complimentary bus to the monastery, it´s probable that 1.5hrs would be enough.
