Highlights
Can you imagine discovering hidden waterfalls, a century-old monastery and a medieval fortress in one day and without crowds? With us it is possible, because we will be a maximum of 8 travelers, sharing the experience as if we were lifelong friends. From Madrid we will head to the Monastery of Stone, a natural paradise with waterfalls, trails and dreamscapes. Then we will enter the monastery to travel centuries ago and get to know the life of the monks and their wine tradition. At noon we will stop in Calatayud, where authentic Aragonese cuisine awaits us. Each traveler will be able to choose their menu at a local restaurant (each pays for their consumption), but we will share the table and laughter. In the afternoon we will visit the Parador de Sigüenza, an impressive medieval fortress where we will drink a drink and be engulfed by its legendary atmosphere. We will return to Madrid after a unique, intimate day full of unforgettable moments.

Itinerary
We'll meet at O'Donnell's Gate with all the members of the group. From there we will start our journey towards The Stone Monastery
Arrival at the Natural Park Monastery of Stone - 10 : 45. Upon arrival we will start our adventure in the historic garden, surrounded by greenery and a landscape full of streams and lakes. This environment will transmit the calm and peace that is only achieved by being submerged in the middle of nature. Gradually we will enter the forest, where the paths and paths will guide us to imposing waterfalls, cross caves and grottos that will make way in the Aragonese mountains. Being the circular path, little inclination and no more than 4 km in length, will be of a low physical demand. In the middle of the tour we will pause to hydrate and have a rich snack.
We will have the space for lunch in a local restaurant with typical cuisine of the region. Not included in the price of the experience.
When you reach the imposing walls of the Cistercian monastery dating back to the 13th century, you will learn how its monks lived, tour its cloister and even learn its traditions and customs full of history and mystery.
Departure to Madrid. We'll drop them off at the same place we picked them up.
