The opposite view of Puente de San Pedro
From Las Molatillas you see everything normally viewed from the Mirador del Tajo, but from the reverse side: the hill of Castillo de Alpetea, the confluence of the Tagus and Gallo at Puente de San Pedro, and the tufa waterfall of La Escaleruela.
How to get there
From Cuevas Labradas, a forest track turns off to the right, suitable for regular cars. It passes the Hontanar shelter, and after about 1.5 km, a fork to the right leads out to several rocky points overlooking the Gallo ravine and to the viewpoint. It is unconditioned: take care near the edges.
