Beautiful enclave, of geological and natural interest. It is worth going for a walk. Halfway up the gorge is the Gruta de Nuestra Señora hermitage. The route is not complicated but it requires avoiding some rocks so we must go with the right material.
The Calderones Gorge becomes impassable during periods of rain.

Hiking

The Calderones Gorge is located in Piedrasecha, in the province of León. It's a spectacular hiking trail that traverses a gorge so narrow that in several sections you can touch both rock faces just by stretching out your arms.
