Reino de los Mallos and Loarre

This region, where the plain meets the mountains, is geologically exceptional and has also played an important role in the history of the Kingdom of Aragón. In the 10th Century the borders of the kingdom were consolidated along the mountain range and today you can still see buildings from the time in a fine state of repair, for example Loarre Castle, the collegiate church in Bolea, the villages of Agüero and Murillo de Gállego, as well as several “casas castillo” (fortified houses) here and there on the plain.

Between the two ranges the gorge of the river Gallego and the imposing Mallos de Riglos (rock formations) have been formed over the years by the weather and water. They offer the traveller two scenic landscapes for via ferrata climbs and and one of the most beautiful sections of river in Aragón where you can get all the excitement you want, trying your hand at rafting, canoeing and riverboarding or hydrospeed.

During February and March you can come and watch the majestic spectacle of thousands of cranes, which stop over each year at the Sotonera reservoir in order to gather their strength for the most testing part of their long migratory route: the crossing of the Pyrenees.
