Moncayo로 올라가는 길이 끝나는 아름다운 곳. 시원한 물

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.

The Cueva del Castillo in Los Fayos is a fascinating place with a rich history. Located in the municipality of Los Fayos, in the province of Zaragoza, Aragon, this natural cave has been inhabited since the Bronze Age. In the 12th century, a defensive castle was built taking advantage of the natural cavity in the rock. The castle of Los Fayos played a strategic role on the borders between the kingdoms of Aragon, Navarre and Castile. Although today only a few vestiges remain, such as the cistern and the water collection system, the cave remains a place of historical and archaeological interest. The entrance to the cave is located in a vertical cut in the rock, and a ladder is needed to access it. Inside the cave, several rooms can be seen, including the hearth and the cistern.

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 GR 90.1, between Ágreda and Ambel, runs through a beautiful area of dense forest with meadows in the clearings, from which you can contemplate the surroundings.

We visit the castle cave, a fortified cave with a lot of history. This 12th century medieval castle located in a cave at the top of the town of Los Fayos was a key place during the war of the two Pedros in 1357. We can book a guided tour to learn about its history and the hidden corners. We also have the option of leaving the bike and going up to the viewpoint of the castle with magnificent views of the Val dam and the town of Los Fayos. Of course, to get to it we will have to overcome the 333 steps that there are, but without a doubt, the reward is spectacular.

After a long and painstaking restoration, we are lucky to be able to admire the Cathedral of Santa María de la Huerta in Tarazona, where different styles are combined (Romanesque, Gothic, Mudejar and Renaissance). If we want to visit it from the inside (totally recommended) we must pay an entrance fee. Let's not forget to walk the picturesque streets of the town of Zaragoza.
