Spectacular views towards Añón de Moncayo and in the background, Moncayo.

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.
