La Peña Buraca de Alcántara is already an Asset of Cultural Interest in Extremadura with the category of archaeological zone. La Peña Buraca, also known as Canchal de los Ojos, is the most representative element of this enclave that, even though it is very close to Piedras Albas, belongs to the municipality of Alcántara.

Hiking
It is a granite rock in the middle of a beautiful holm oak pasture with two holes that look like two mysterious cave eyes. Experts say that it is an ancient place of worship, ritual or burial, next to it there are several anthropomorphic tombs from medieval times and archaeological remains of remote origin have been found.
