アルカラ・デ・モンカヨのおすすめライド

モンカヨへの登り道の終わりにある美しい場所。冷たい水

Talamantes is a fantastic starting point for exploring the Moncayo region, with trails that blend forest, mountains, and ravines. Paths like the one leading to the Valdetreviño ravine start right from the village, perfect for walks with great views and no crowds. Plus, it's small and peaceful, ideal for stopping, having a bite to eat, and recharging after your hike.

Añón de Moncayo retains a medieval atmosphere in its streets and buildings, where the influence of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem is still evident. Construction of the castle began in 1238, during the reign of James I of Aragon, to protect the area, as the town was strategically located between kingdoms.

This small town of fewer than 300 inhabitants boasts a mycology center. It is also home to the Church of San Martín de Tours, a neo-Romanesque church with colonial American art.

Real Monasterio de Santa María de Veruela, or "The Royal Monastery of Santa María de Veruela") is a Cistercian abbey from the 12th century. It is located near Vera de Moncayo. It was founded in 1146 by Pedro de Atarés. Source wikipedia.

Visiting it is doing a deep review of the history of art in Spain, since in its construction there are spaces where all the styles that have existed since the 12th century, the time when construction began, come together. It is a unique example of a Gothic cathedral with an exceptional Mudejar and Renaissance legacy. The Tarazona Cathedral was built in the French Gothic style, but it maintains magnificent examples of the Mudejar style, including a Gothic-Mudejar cloister.

The Talamantes castle was built in the 11th century with the purpose of defending the border crossing between Castile and Aragon in the Valdeherrera and Valdetreviño ravines. Although much of the fortification is in a state of ruin, the north wall and one of its towers are still quite well preserved.
