The 'Pedralta Rocking Stone' the largest rocking stone in the IberianPeninsula, and the second largest in Europe. One could make the upper stone rock with oneâ€™s bare hands just by pushing on that stone, which weights about 1,000 tons. However, this geological monument lost its natural balance in 1996 owing to a violent storm. It was put back in place in 1999, but without its rocking capability. In view of its peculiar nature, this spot was traditionally regarded as a magic place, for pagan worship. These days, a gathering is held here on the last Sunday in May each year.
