サンビセンテデラソンシエラのおすすめランニングルート

From the Briones castle there is a spectacular view of the Ebro River and the surrounding vineyards and, in the background, the limestone ridges of the Alava mountains.

The route returns along the same path, passes the gate again and continues along the path with the green dots towards the geodesic vertex of Toloño (1,264 m), which is not the main summit, this is a cartographic landmark, the main summit is after a little hill planted in some airy and solitary cliffs. The views jump the meanders of the Ebro and reach the silhouettes of San Lorenzo, San Millán and the rest of the peaks of the Sierra de la Demanda. Moncayo appears further away, claiming some prominence in an unforgettable scene. At the foot of the Toloño, in the first valley hanging from the south face, appear the ruins of the Toloñoko Andra Mari, the ancient Monastery of Santa María del Toloño. And to the right the peaks that remain to complete the mountain journey.

Documented for the first time in 1367, when Enrique de Trastámara gave it to Carlos El Malo of Navarra, it is likely that it was built during the reign of Alfonso VIII to strengthen the area's defense against Navarre. It is Romanesque in style and is made up of a walled outer enclosure with a polygonal plan with seven sides. The keep, with four floors, has a square floor plan and is attached to the wall at its eastern end. The castle is located on a hill next to a meander of the Ebro river, a strategic place next to the Briones castle to protect the area from Navarrese attacks.

The views from the top of the summit are wonderful.

Ruins of an old monastery that, despite the fact that they say little about the building that had existed, create a spectacular landscape.

Easily accessible and with a delightful view, it is worth it.

The summit of Toloño is more spectacular but, once there, it is a good idea to go to the geodesic vertex, which is very close.

Perhaps the most emblematic mountain in the area, and no wonder, it's a pleasure to be up there.
