They seem so close, but they are still far away from here.

S 2-3 Uphill and downhill trail, the only complication is some passage between rocks

One of the most beautiful but also most demanding trails I have ridden to date. In my opinion this has nothing to do with medium difficulty.

It's true, it's magnificent... But either I took the wrong path, or this route should not be classified as intermediate, but expert. For a 3km stretch, I had to carry the bike most of the time, with the vultures circling above you and the ravine below. So yes, I think there are at least 3km VERY difficult and caution is required (unless I took the wrong path, of course...)

A path to enjoy that sometimes approaches the edge of the Saso, to pedal among holm oaks and pines enjoying the views of the Hoya de Huesca at our feet.

Apiés is a small agricultural center just 10 kilometers from the city of Huesca. It is located between cereal fields and the Romanesque church of San Félix, from the 12th century, stands out. The town is very close to the Roldán waterfall and from its surroundings you can get a good view of these huge mallos.

The Vadiello dam floods the Guatizalema river canyon and its surrounding areas, creating a spectacular landscape. The sheet of turquoise water surrounded by imposing rock formations is one of the best postcards of the Sierra de Guara.
