Attractions and Places To See around Añón De Moncayo - Top 20

The Prado de Santa Lucía Snow Well is located near San Martín de Moncayo, in the province of Zaragoza, within the natural setting of the Moncayo Natural Park. This well is a traditional construction formerly used to store snow during the winter, which was then compacted and preserved for medical, food, or refrigeration purposes during warmer seasons. It is a semi-buried structure with stone walls and a vaulted roof, designed to retain the cold for months.

The summit of Moncayo, also known as Pico San Miguel, is the highest mountain in the Iberian system, with an altitude of 2315 metres. It is located between the provinces of Zaragoza (Aragon) and Soria (Castile and Leon) in Spain. To reach the summit, many hikers start from the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Moncayo, located at 1621 metres. From there, the route passes through the Cucharón cirque and the San Miguel basin before reaching the summit. The route offers spectacular views and is especially popular in spring and summer.

Real Monasterio de Santa María de Veruela, or "The Royal Monastery of Santa María de Veruela") is a Cistercian abbey from the 12th century. It is located near Vera de Moncayo. It was founded in 1146 by Pedro de Atarés. Source wikipedia.

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.

At the Collado de la Atalaya you have to head northeast along the slope of the mountain range following a level path marked with stone markers. The path crosses the Las Hoyas de los Portillos valley and climbs halfway through the pine forest towards the wall of the Muela del Cerro Morrón. In the pine forest you have to keep climbing towards the east and at the base of the walls connect with the path coming from the north face of the mountain. The landmarks are clear between the pine trees and the mole wall, they jump a couple of small slopes near other cavities and lead to the spectacular Cueva de los Pilares, a fantastic natural rock sanctuary with arches, vaults and giant columns. The climb to the summit of the mole leaves from the cave through the canal located to the west, it is a clear and obvious climb, it has stone markers and although it seems that there is no exit with good visibility, it is a simple section along some aerial ledges without too many complications, unless the rock is wet, it cannot even be classified as a climbing step, rather technical mountain hiking. The milestones enter the large inclined molar plain and take the direction of the summit through the center of the mountain.

Impressive views that can be seen: the Pyrenees, the Ebro depression...

We are in the monastery of Santa María de Veruela, a magical place in the province of Zaragoza. The monastery combines Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture and is surrounded by a wall. We can also visit the cloister or the exhibition of the Bécquer brothers since they worked and stayed here. Admission is free for children up to 11 years old (€2 for adults) but it is totally worth it if we are interested in the whole story.
