Tips from the Community
This beautiful medieval bridge was built between the 13th and 14th centuries. It is about one hundred meters long and almost three meters wide, which allowed carriages and vehicles to cross from one side to the other.

You may not see this bridge if you pass quickly and are not paying attention. In addition to its beauty, it is also interesting for its location, since it is located next to the mouth of the Isábena river with the Ésera river.

This small and discreet town, belonging to Secastilla, offers a good point to take a break, especially if you are coming from Secastilla and have just made the climb. From the road you can see its paddle tennis court. From Ubiergo it is very easy to get to La Puebla de Castro, Secastilla, or the top of Torreciudad, all with roads in good condition and not very busy.

Incredible views at one end of the reservoir, in the dam area. No matter the season of the year, the landscape is just as beautiful, with the imposing Turbón in the background. The best thing of all is that, if you go in the direction of the Olvena gorge, a long descent towards the tunnels awaits you. If you take this direction, we recommend that you bring very good lighting to be visible to cars.

Monesma and Cajigar are two rural cores that form one only administratively. In the village breathes a peaceful agricultural atmosphere and its stone tower stands out among the surrounding cereal fields.

Despite having such an unpretentious name as "Puente de Abajo", the truth is that this bridge is a beautiful medieval construction with three ashlar arches. It is located in the Aragonese town of Graus, on the waters of the Ésera river.

Access point to the Castle and Church (in the image) by stairs. Numerous battles were fought in the castle of Benabarre and it was demolished at the beginning of the 17th century and reused in the 19th century with new executions, remaining active in the Catalan and Carlist wars. Due to these war conflicts, it was rebuilt to transform it into a rifle fort. Today it looks more like a 19th century fort, although it retains older walls from when it was the castle-palace of the counts of Ribagorza. Thus, it is a monumental complex of a single enclosure where all the transformations of the property parallel to the historical ups and downs are integrated. It is located at the top of the town and is visible from several points in the area. It is made up of the Romanesque church and the fortress, dating from the 12th century. It consists of two enclosures, an upper one, older and with a Muslim layout, of which there are walls at the base of the rock on which it sits, as well as the base of a quadrangular tower.
