The best walks and hikes around Monesma Y Cajigar

A medieval watchtower. It was part of the network of towers and castles that were built throughout the Ribagorza and Sobrarbe mountain ranges during this period of reconquest (Vicampa, Luzás, Benabarre Castle, La Mora, Monzón Castle, Samitier, Puebla de Fantova, Cajigar...among many others...)

The town was founded in the mid-12th century as a monastery and later even served as a bishopric. The cathedral can be visited.

It is definitely advisable to take hiking poles with you and to think carefully about when you are going to hike the tour...and to keep a close eye on the weather. There are two very steep, unpaved sections that are difficult or even impossible to manage when it is wet.

The tower has a circular plan, a diameter of about 11 meters and a height of 20 meters, with walls almost 3 meters thick. As it is built, it seems to have been built both inside and outside with the help of a double scaffold, which is due to the great thickness of the walls. Like most defensive structures of the period, the ground floor was walled, with a high, round-arched entrance facing south-east. The ground floor was used as a storage room and is not accessible from the outside. After the restoration work carried out in 2005 and 2006, it was found that the tower had five floors, although only four of them remain today. The upper part, which has now disappeared, could have been made up of small defensive openings in the form of battlements or a conical roof. Very close to the tower and within the walls is the church of San Esteban de Viacamp, of Romanesque origin, a classic among the fortresses of the Upper Ragon. Originally dedicated to the Archangel Michael, it was later dedicated to Saint Stephen. Next to the church is the old cemetery, which has not been abandoned. The remains of the external enclosure are in the areas bordering the plateau and are made of ashlar and masonry with some high-quality parts. Remains of walls and foundations or the beginnings of towers have been preserved, although they are not very high. (Wikipedia)

This bridge was built in the 12th century and, together with its surroundings, form a landscape that is a spectacular time capsule over the Isábena River.

The medieval bridge of Roda de Isábena, also called the San Jaime bridge, is a 12th-century Romanesque construction that crosses the waters of the Isábena river.

The Airela viewpoint is located in the extreme northwest of the town of Roda de Isábena. In a small square with benches and a fountain, from the viewpoint you have an excellent view of the Isábena valley and the mountains in the background, among which the emblematic silhouette of Turbón stands out.

Serraduy is a town belonging to the municipality of Isábena and located on the banks of the homonymous river. Some of the houses were built on the same rock, since the terrain is quite steep. The town is divided in two by the river and connected by a beautiful medieval bridge. A few meters from the village, on the road, the Casa Peix hotel-restaurant has a terrace with beautiful views of the river and the Sis mountain range.
