Access is by car via the CC-51 road that climbs from the N-110 towards El Torno; approximately two kilometers before reaching the village, the Mirador de la Memoria is signposted, with a widened roadside area where parking is available. From this point, it is a short walk of a few meters to reach the sculptures, the interpretive panel of the “El Cerro” climbing area, and the picnic area with tables.
The picnic area can be used throughout the year, although spring and autumn are especially pleasant due to mild temperatures and the colors of the landscape. In summer, it is advisable to avoid the central hours of the day due to sun exposure, while in winter visitors should consider the possible presence of fog or ice on the access road.

Resource access level
It is recommended to use the picnic area for a relaxed stop after visiting the sculptures and enjoying the landscape, bringing water and some food and always taking any waste away. It is a good idea to combine the visit with a walk through the village of El Torno or with other viewpoints in the area.
The access road is a mountain road with curves, so it is important to drive carefully and signal properly when entering or leaving the parking area. On rainy, snowy, or icy days, the surface may be slippery and the area around the tables can be slick, so extra caution is advised when walking.
