Monasterio de Piedra Car Park

Monasterio de Piedra has two outdoor parking areas beside the grounds, in Nuévalos, signposted on arrival. Both are free and unattended, so do not leave anything of value in sight: you will spend several hours inside the park and the car is left on its own. From either one you can walk to the entrance in a few minutes.

Getting there by car

The usual access is by the A-2 motorway. If you are coming from Madrid towards Barcelona, the monastery gives exit kilometre 204, Alhama de Aragón – Monasterio de Piedra. If you are coming from Zaragoza or Barcelona towards Madrid, the exit is at kilometre 231, Nuévalos – Monasterio de Piedra. From both exits the rest of the way is along a local road to Nuévalos, and from the village the grounds are well signposted. The postal address is calle Juan Federico Muntadas y Jornet, s/n, in Nuévalos.

Ticket offices and hours

The ticket offices are next to the souvenir shop, at the entrance to the grounds, and close 15 minutes before the last entry time. On the general timetable the park is open from 9:00 to 17:45, with last entry at 16:30, and the monastery from 10:00 to 18:00, with last entry at 17:45. From 10 November to 6 January 2027 the park closes at 17:30 and last entry is at 16:00; the monastery keeps its hours, with last entry at 17:30. On dates with events the hours may change: the monastery announces them on its special hours page.

The 2026 ticket, which includes the park and a self-guided visit to the monastery, costs €20 for adults and €14.20 for children aged 4 to 11 and over-65s. With the same ticket you can leave and re-enter, asking for the control stamp at the park gate first; this is useful if you want to go back to the car for lunch, because food is not allowed inside the park.

How much time to allow

The park route is about 4 km on foot and the ticket is valid all day. Add to that the monastery visit, which takes about an hour. Park with time to spare before last entry, especially in winter, when it closes earlier. For any questions about parking or access, the monastery answers on 976 870 700 and at [email protected].

Motorhomes and other vehicles

The monastery website does not publish its own rules for motorhomes in these areas nor say whether overnight stays are allowed. If you are travelling by motorhome, ask by phone first.

What to see when you park

From the car park start the Historic Garden Park, with the Horsetail Fall and the Iris Cave, and the visit to the Cistercian monastery and Wine Museum. For lunch without leaving the grounds there is the Piedra Vieja Restaurant. If you arrive without a car, see the page for Calatayud station.
