From the well-developed path on the edge of the cliff high above the gorge-like valley of the Rio Júcar, there are fascinating views down into the river valley and wonderful views of the rock faces on both sides as well as to the east of the old town of Cuenca, which towers above the rock faces, and behind it the mountain Cerro del Socorro.

Hiking

From the viewpoints of the old town, especially the Camilo José Cela viewpoint, the Ojos de la Mora can be seen perfectly and with a great perspective, and many visitors highlight that it is beautiful at sunset.
