At the top of Pico del Águila is the Hermitage of the Virgen del Águila. The site is in perfect condition thanks to the excellent work of the residents of the town of Paniza. In summer it is usually open and you can visit it. The views are magnificent of the Sierra de Algairén, behind that of Moncayo. It has a table at the back sheltered from the wind and in full sun, which is perfect for recovering energy and/or temperature in winter.

Very little traveled secondary road. Very pretty if you are a climbing cyclist. Once at the top you can see a large part of the Campo de Cariñena

At the end of the day, I found myself in another tiny village; the highlight was a church and there were 2 streets in the village: “hay dos calles aquí” said the friendly Albergue lady when I asked what there was to do in the city. I was a happy man to have a beer, watch the sunset and appreciate the quiet serenity of the isolated pueblo.
