Moncayo never disappoints. From Cueva de Agreda the climb is longer and harder, but it is worth the sacrifice. The views from the summit, towards Aragon and towards Castilla, are impressive.

Although much of the fortification is in a state of ruin, the north wall and one of its towers are still quite well preserved.
