La Cañadilla is a small town located at 1220 meters above sea level on the road that takes us from Aliaga to Ejulve. The passage of time has caused it to gradually become depopulated and, today, it has 4 neighbors, compared to the 25 children who went to school in the 50s. Among its buildings there is a hermitage dedicated to Saint Joseph. A pilgrimage takes place there on Easter Day, to which the people of Cirugeda also come. In the surroundings we will find a fountain with a sink, known as Fuente del Camino; a unique tree, the Pino de Cobatillas, which is located 45 minutes in the direction of Cirugeda, and the Ice Cream Cross, which commemorates the tragic death due to frostbite of three residents of the town who, in the winter of 1941, were lost in the middle of the blizzard.
