The Valdegurriana locks are locks of the Imperial Canal of Aragon located in the municipality of Zaragoza, Spain. They were used for the navigation of the canal transporting people and goods for decades. They are not currently in use because the gates were removed years ago. The locks were built at the end of the 18th century with the aim of bridging a gap in the Imperial Canal of Aragon and making it navigable. Valdegurriana is located within the extensive wooded mass known as Pinares de Venecia. The path that runs through Valdegurriana and that connects the neighborhood of La Paz with La Cartuja is part of the Green Belt of Zaragoza.

From the top of a hill, the Hermitage of the Virgen de la Peña and the Castle of Cornel, dominate the town of Alfajarín, the hermitage is a construction framed in the late Gothic style of the 16th century and the castle of the 11th century, with the mission to monitor the banks of the Ebro and protect Zaragoza from the east.
