Discover Tramacastilla through its landscapes, trails and architectural history: the Paraje de las Cuevas lies by the Río Noguera near the town, while Barrancohondo is between Tramacastilla and Villar del Cobo. Over thousands of years, the Río Guadalaviar has carved a gorge there through various types of limestone. Signs to the Paraje de las Cuevas start at Plaza Mayor; after severe storms, check the local signs.
