Near Orihuela del Tremedal in the Sierra de Albarracín mountains flows a periglaciation 2.5 kilometer river of impervious Paleozoic rocks. It is one of the largest stone rivers in the world and quite astonishing to see. High latitude, high altitude, cold air temperatures and low precipitation are a good environment for periglacial formations.
Monasterio de la Virgen del Tremedal
Follow the road a little more and you will find yourself at the Monasterio de la Virgen del Tremedal which has a stunning circular view of the valley below and dates back to the Visigoth era. This monastery was originally built in 1748 and had to be rebuilt after the French destroyed it in 1807.
