It is an enormous cliff (or monolith) that rises above the Rio Blanco (Rio de la Fuente del Berro). You can get there walking from the road along a very colorful and picturesque path next to the river and on the other side the Alto de las Piedras.

The Moricacho de la Hoz is a huge monolith that rises majestically over the Blanco River in the Barranco de la Hoz, located in the Sierra de Albarracín, Teruel, Spain. This impressive natural landmark offers a spectacular view and is part of a hiking route that will immerse you in a landscape of contrasts.

Impressive monolith that guards the entrance to the Blanco River canyon in Calomarde.
It was ascended for the first time by Luís Torrijo, Alfonso Torrijo, Miguel Ángel Tomás and Manolo Soriano in 1994. It is included in the book "100 inaccessible points of Teruel" by Luís Torrijo and Javier Magallón.
