impressive canyon with walkways. Bikes must be left parked, they do not fit

Spectacular canyon, which can be visited via the walkways provided for this purpose. Be careful, bicycles do not fit, as it has been verified.

It is worth visiting the monastery.

About three kilometers southwest of Silos lies a gorge also known as Desfiladero de la Yecla. A footpath leads through the deep cut in the limestone cliffs, whose valley floor the sun barely reaches. Colonies of griffon vultures and other birds of prey live in this adventurous landscape.

The gorge is nice to walk through since some walls have a verticality of 50m and we can also see vultures. The walk to Santo Domingo runs along a track with no problems for both walking and cycling except for the gorge itself.
