Incredible, depending on the season the flow can vary greatly. We were lucky enough to pass through when there was a lot of water, it's impressive!

The Castle of María de Huerva, also known as the Atalaya, is a monument of Muslim origin located in the municipality of María de Huerva, in the province of Zaragoza. Built during the 10th century, Abderramán III quartered part of his troops in this castle to attack Zaragoza. The castle is located on a promontory, away from the town and on the other side of the Huerva River. Remains of an oval enclosure with a major axis of about 50 metres have been preserved, presided over by a half-ruined adobe tower.

The Cabezo San Borombón is a place of great interest in the town of Muel. Next Sunday, July 14, 2024, the 12th edition of the Trail Muel: Cabezo de San Borombón will be held in Muel. In summary, Cabezo San Borombón and its surroundings offer a unique combination of nature, history and sport. An experience worth living! 🏃‍♂️🏞️🌟

The fortress housed the troops of Abderramán III in the year 935 and served in the defense of Zaragoza against Alfonso I the battler in 1118. After the Christian conquest, the castle passed into the hands of the kings of Aragon, and had numerous owners.
