Partaloa, situated on the road that links Oria with the Marmol Motorway, will surprise you with the almost implausible landscape of numerous stone blocks of enormous size that seem to threaten the buildings of the village. This is the phenomenon of “Los Desplomes“, with immense conglomerates of stone that “threaten” the village by hanging from the hillside.
From the viewpoint, you can observe this marvellous landscape with incredible 360º views. The municipality offers numerous possibilities for hiking (Estrechos del Ciscarico), MTB routes and horse riding as there are two equestrian ranches in the town that offer this service.
If you visit this municipality and want to know what to see and do in it, we have selected on this page a series of suggestions to make your stay easier and more interesting.
We hope you enjoy it.
