The main attraction of the route lies in the spectacular geomorphology of the massif, formed by conglomerates composed of a diverse range of blocks and boulders of varying sizes, known locally as "Las Roscas" (The Rings). The track that circles them is in excellent condition. Access to the base is possible. Be aware of any restrictions!

The summit of Moncayo, also known as Pico San Miguel, is the highest mountain in the Iberian system, with an altitude of 2315 metres. It is located between the provinces of Zaragoza (Aragon) and Soria (Castile and Leon) in Spain. To reach the summit, many hikers start from the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Moncayo, located at 1621 metres. From there, the route passes through the Cucharón cirque and the San Miguel basin before reaching the summit. The route offers spectacular views and is especially popular in spring and summer.

Moncayo never disappoints. From Cueva de Agreda the climb is longer and harder, but it is worth the sacrifice. The views from the summit, towards Aragon and towards Castilla, are impressive.

At the Collado de la Atalaya you have to head northeast along the slope of the mountain range following a level path marked with stone markers. The path crosses the Las Hoyas de los Portillos valley and climbs halfway through the pine forest towards the wall of the Muela del Cerro Morrón. In the pine forest you have to keep climbing towards the east and at the base of the walls connect with the path coming from the north face of the mountain. The landmarks are clear between the pine trees and the mole wall, they jump a couple of small slopes near other cavities and lead to the spectacular Cueva de los Pilares, a fantastic natural rock sanctuary with arches, vaults and giant columns. The climb to the summit of the mole leaves from the cave through the canal located to the west, it is a clear and obvious climb, it has stone markers and although it seems that there is no exit with good visibility, it is a simple section along some aerial ledges without too many complications, unless the rock is wet, it cannot even be classified as a climbing step, rather technical mountain hiking. The milestones enter the large inclined molar plain and take the direction of the summit through the center of the mountain.

Impressive views that can be seen: the Pyrenees, the Ebro depression...

Good place to take a look at the Roscas crest.

Running along the bottom of the Val ravine, we come across a sign that indicates the detour to the Peña del Tío Fresquito, which we will access by a small staircase and a subsequent climb. If we can do it, it is worth it for the good views it offers us of the Val valley.
