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.

During the Reconquista, this hermitage marked a key crossing point between Christian and Muslim territories. Pilgrims and soldiers used it as a place of rest and prayer. Located on a strategic high point above the Cinca River, this hermitage is an exceptional example of Lombard Romanesque architecture in Aragon, with a history dating back to the 11th century. Built around 1100, it was part of a small Benedictine priory that served both religious and defensive functions right on the border with the Muslim kingdoms.

It's very well set up, the only thing is that it's packed with people and some stop wherever they can without realizing that they're in the middle of the route, hindering those who have no intention of stopping.

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.

It's located in a spacious and well-organized area, designed so that the hundreds of bikers could stop, refuel, and continue quickly. Fresh water, isotonic drinks, bananas, bars, and nuts were provided... just the right amount to recharge without losing the pace. The atmosphere was great: riders cheered each other on, mechanics were quick to assist if any basic repairs were needed, and attentive volunteers were available to offer whatever you needed almost before you even asked. Many of us took the opportunity to wipe the dust off our faces, refill our water bottles, and stretch a bit before continuing pedaling toward the second part of the race, where the wind had even more surprises in store for us.
