Mirador del Estrecho de la Peña Amarilla (Yellow Rock Strait Viewpoint), one of the most interesting panoramic viewpoints in the Villuercas-Ibores-Jara Geopark, in Alía (Cáceres).
The viewpoint overlooks the Estrecho de la Peña Amarilla, a spectacular river gorge carved by the Jarigüela stream amidst the quartzite formations of the Armorican Quartzite, a characteristic feature of the geopark.
One of the routes that passes through this point is the one that connects Alía – Mirador del Estrecho – Puerto de San Vicente, a section of the Villuercas Natural Trail, with moderate scenery and elevation changes (17.78 km, +596 m).
