La Peña del Diablo

The legend says that the devil made mischief in these parts. La Peña, or Mirador, del Diablo is a spectacular setting in the Monasterio de Piedra park that offers breathtaking views of the "Horse Tail" waterfall or the dreamy "Mirror Lake". The legends and fantasies further enrich the fame and beauty of this mystical and otherworldly place. Supposedly the monks of the monastery, one day, "released" the most unfortunate and destitute woman who was "strangely possessed," and wanted to seek revenge and burn the convent. The monks had no choice but to pray. Meanwhile, the Devil decided to conduct his own affairs and sought to throw an impressive stone on top of the monastery.
