Protected ornithological reserve. If you're lucky, you can see birds. When we passed by, there was no water, but you can see that it's a humid area.

Good route from Puebla de Alfinden for the first 5 km, semi-flat, then you arrive at Alfajarin and go under the AP2 highway and turn left to go up the stairs followed by a slope that reaches the Virgen de la Peña hermitage. Followed by the castle, by the way, very good views of the town of Alfajarin and its fields, you can also see the capital Maña on the horizon. Following the path leads us to the Osborne bull from where we once again have wonderful views of the mountains with their paths made by walkers and irrigation that are irrigated by the Urdan canal, continuing with the path we pass by the hunters' house continuing along trails of the ravines we make out the Puebla de alfinden about 4km and we have already finished the route that is circular in total 12km of ups and downs. Fill good shoes, water, and something to eat just in case, normal physique for all public, very pretty and entertaining

The Pina de Ebro dam complements the dam that diverts water to an irrigation ditch. The damming of water has favored the presence of aquatic birds and vegetation.

We are located in the El Planerón Ornithological Reserve, a place with a special charm, it does not seem that we are so close to Zaragoza. It is also home to countless steppe birds and other rare ones, the observation of which is somewhat complicated during the summer months due to the lack of water. It is very well indicated

From the top of a hill, the Hermitage of the Virgen de la Peña dominates the town of Alfajarín, it is a construction framed in the late Gothic style of the 16th century located in an environment with magnificent views of the valley to the south and the foothills of the Monegros north is definitely worth a visit. They share a parking lot with the Alfajarín castle and not far away we can reach the popular Osborne bull
