Nuez de Ebro is a town in the province of Zaragoza, in the community of Aragón. The town is of medieval origin, founded by the Knights of the Nut, who were part of King James I's expedition to Mallorca to conquer the Muslim kingdom. Its most important cultural heritage is the palace house where the town hall is currently located, forming the same architectural complex with the church of San Martín. Part of its term is occupied by the directed natural reserve of the Sotos and Galachos del Ebro. The galachos are natural spaces formed from ancient meanders of the Ebro River, which when changing its channel form lagoons, islands and riverside forests. These wetlands have their own flora (reeds, tamarisks, salces, poplars) and fauna (birds such as buzzards, jackdaws, woodpeckers, blackcaps and others).

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

How many times have we seen it from the road and thought about going up? Well, do not hesitate any longer and come to the foot of the Toro de Osborne from where we will have magnificent views of the entire Ebro valley and Zaragoza. Nearby we can visit the Castle of Cornel and the Hermitage of the Virgen de la Peña.

From the top of a hill, the Hermitage of the Virgen de la Peña and the Castle of Cornel, dominate the town of Alfajarín, the hermitage is a construction framed in the late Gothic style of the 16th century and the castle of the 11th century, with the mission to monitor the banks of the Ebro and protect Zaragoza from the east. Both buildings located in an environment with magnificent views of the valley to the south and the foothills of the Monegros to the north. It 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
