Above the upper Escabas
The Muela de la Madera occupies the centre of the Natural Park and has no villages. At its edge, beside the western boundary of El Hosquillo, Peña del Reloj overlooks the enclosed Escabas valley in its uppermost reaches. Below, the still young river runs among pine forests; opposite stand the rock walls and formations that give the hills their character.
It is the same valley through which gancheros, river timber drivers, took timber downstream: The gancheros of the Escabas and Guadiela.
