Los Órganos de Benitandús

Órganos de Benitandús are located in the northeast of the town, and are imposing rock formations that recall the shape of a church pipe organ, hence the name of this small spot nestled within the Sierra de Espadán Natural Park.
From the top of the formations, which are easily accessible along the circular route from Alcúdia de Veo, you can contemplate wonderful views, offering a panoramic of the entire area and of the reservoir. It is therefore, without a doubt, a spectacular place that will leave you breathless, which may be somewhat similar to Garbí lookout point in Sierra Calderona. In addition, at its top, as an added attraction of the visit, trenches and other defensive formations from the Spanish Civil War can be found.

Benitandús

In the heart of the Sierra de Espadán, Castellón, there is a small district of Alcúdia de Veo with less than 20 inhabitants. We are talking about Benitandús, a small village located on the banks of Veo river, a corner where the nearby reservoir called Onda (or Benitandús) Reservoir attracts visitors. Apart from that, there is a via ferrata, about 30 meters high, areas for the practice of aquatic and dry canyoning, routes of hiking or areas to ride on the mountain bike. The main attraction is, of course, Órganos de Benitandús.
As for the reservoir – it is a small and old one, located in the municipality of Alcudia de Veo, in the Plana Baja region. The dam that holds the water in place has a height of 28 meters and a length of 119. This reservoir was built in the 1950s on the Veo river, with the main purpose of irrigating the fields of the nearby towns. Its tail engulfed an old mill that can be seen when the water flow drops.
