What do you think of looking for the waterfalls which generated the power to make Alcover’s mills operate for centuries? Following the pipes that carry water from the river to the mills we enter the Valley of the Glorieta, a wooded area with some impressive trees such as an oak with small leaf which you can find halfway.
Following the sound of the river, you will reach the water. You’ll have to cross the Glorieta River jumping from stone to stone to reach the ruins of the hydraulic central- that provided light to Alcover and the Selva del Camp until the forties, and enjoy the views over the waterfalls.
And if you are lucky and above all good observers, you’ll see hidden among the vegetation a rock in the form of an eagle. It is the famous "Eagle's Nest"
Over 200 works by iconic Dutch artist M.C. Escher
Most of his most iconic and recognizable masterpieces, including Hand with Reflecting Sphere, Relativity, Belvedere, Eye, Metamorphisis, Day and Night, and Waterfall.
Scientific experiments, play areas, and educational resources will help visitors of allages to understand the impossible perspectives, disquieting images, and seemingly irreconcilable universes which Escher combined to create a unique artistic dimension.
Among these special installations will be massive photo booths constructed to emulate Escher's hypnotic environments. Visitors will be able to photograph themselves "inside" the worlds of M.C. EScher.
The "Relativity Room" turns normal size and scale on it's head.
The "Infinity Room" shows visitors their reflection repeated, semingly into infinity.
