オンティニェナのおすすめツーリングルート

During the Civil War, the monastery was looted and partially burned. Nuns and their heritage were forced to flee. Many works were transported to Catalonia, sparking a heritage conflict that is still ongoing. In recent decades, works of art have been judicially returned from Catalan museums to the Sijena Monastery, turning the site into a symbol of memory, historical justice, and Aragonese heritage. Its isolated location in the Monegros mountains is part of its charm. The arid surroundings contrast with the monumentality of the building, giving it an almost mystical feel.

It is a small stone shelter typical of the Monegros region, designed to provide shelter for shepherds or hikers in bad weather.

It's a small stone monolith that marks one of the highest points of the route, and although it's not very large, everyone who passes by instantly recognizes it. After kilometers of open slopes and wind (sometimes very strong), reaching the Pilón is like a symbol that you've overcome most of your hard work. Many take the opportunity to make a brief stop, take a quick photo, and catch their breath before continuing.

Spectacular scenery in April

Very interesting and nice for mtb

The road is not paved but is smooth and non-technical, although the upward slope will require some effort. The desert landscape is beautiful and ideal to concentrate on the activity.

You cannot cross the iron bridge on the route from Seine, because it is demolished

Very nice desert area
