On the A-129 road from Leciñena to Alcubierre (km 34.6) take the detour that leads to the position of Monte Irazo, recreated by the writer. The Orwell Route will allow you to explore the Monegrino landscapes among the sandbags, machine gun posts and military redoubts, which have been recreated as they were during the war. From the trenches where Orwell was, you can see the towers of the Pilar de Zaragoza, since that front line aspired to conquer the city.
