Ascent After Villanueva de Sigena

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The road is not paved but is smooth and non-technical, although the upward slope will require some effort. The desert landscape is beautiful and ideal to concentrate on the activity.

The Monegros tozales are curious multi-colored rock formations, which, sculpted by erosion over the centuries, make up the soul of the essential spot in the Monegros desert. From this point and a few meters away, there are a few of them: Tozal Colasico, Tozal Solitario and Tozales de los Pedregales among others.
