Things to see and do in Ayna
There are many charms of this place, but we are going to try to make a list of the best ones so that you do not lose details. Let’s go!
Devil’s Lookout
Very close to the road you will find this viewpoint. From it you will have privileged views of one of the most beautiful valleys in the area, as well as the Mundo River. The brightness of the sun, together with the green of the mountains, the blue of the river and the white of Ayna’s houses form a unique image that you will never be able to forget.
Rincon de la Toba
This is a beautiful place between mountains and surrounded by waterfalls and water channels. There are municipal swimming pools and a playground for all members of the family to find fun. Strolling through the greenery of nature while listening to the sound of the waters will be the most relaxing for your mind.
The sidecar
La Rodea Grande is the curve that leads to Ayna. Right there is a sidecar that serves as a tribute to the film Amanece que es no poco , by the famous José Luis Cuerda, who chose the town of Ayna as the setting for the film. As you understand, if you go to Ayna, a photo with this sidecar is essential.
Balcony of the Picarzos
This balcony is on the main street of the town, next to the social center. From it you can have an incredible panoramic view of the main mountain of the town. It will leave you dazzled, you will not want to kill yourself from there at least for several minutes.
Mirador de los Mayos
This viewpoint, in addition to offering you wonderful and incredible views of the valley, offers you a delight for your senses as you go towards it. To access the viewpoint you will have to cross a narrow alley that passes between rocks, some rocks that will open with a crack that will lead you to it.
Barranco and Alto streets
These are the two most traditional streets of the town, where all the essence is kept. Its narrow runs, its roofs and its houses with narrow facades have a special charm that seems to give off magic. Let yourself be carried away by them calmly, you will enjoy it.
Church of Our Lady of the High
This temple dates from 1953 and was built on the remains of the castle of La Yedra and the old hermitage dedicated to the same virgin. As highlights, we mark its tower, as well as its three bells, dating from the 18th century.
Main Square
This is the main square of the town and a meeting point for locals and tourists. There are ancient stone steps and a century-old elm tree that is well worth a photo. It is used for events such as concerts, so if you visit this town in summer, you may be able to enjoy many of its shows.
Behind the square is one of the oldest laundries in the area, where women did their laundry in the old fashioned way thanks to some water ditches that ran through the area.
Movie sets
As we told you before, the movie Amanece que es no poco was shot in Ayna, and the locals have marked the places that appear in the film, so that you can visit them and photograph yourself in them. Some of these places are the men’s seedbed, the garden of Uncle Pedro or Elena’s passage to the terraces.
Toba stream waterfall
The Toba spring overflows with water everywhere and to “eliminate” the rest, it does so in a majestic way in the form of a waterfall. A natural spectacle that you cannot miss on your visit to Ayna.
Ayna is a small town in Albacete but, as you can see, it has many corners to discover. Will this be one of your next destinations for your vacation or a little getaway?
