Virgen de Dorleta Memorial

Highlight • Monument

An emblematic site for cyclists since it is the Patron Saint of Spanish Cyclists. The road is very frequented by lovers of two wheels with some magnificent landscapes.

History: Almost 60 years ago an extraordinary journey happened.
On August 8, 1960, young cyclists Luis and Ángel Serrano from Bilbao and José Luis Sáenz from Vitoria arrived with their bicycles in Rome to be received in audience by Pope John XXIII.
In that luggage they carried the petition for the canonical declaration of the Virgin of Dorleta as patron saint of cyclists.
Tired but happy, they returned to the capital of Vitoria, and on the 28th of that same month, the Virgin of Dorleta was proclaimed "Patroness of Spanish cyclists".

Remnants of the Civil War

Highlight • Historical Site

The Vertex Parapets is a fortified complex in Jaulín, built during the Spanish Civil War by the rebel army in front of the Vertex of Sierra Gorda, position of the Republican Army,1 in the battle of the Ebro. Its purpose was to stop the advance of the Republican Army in the direction to Zaragoza from the south.
It is located on both sides of the road that goes from Jaulín to Fuendetodos, next to a geodesic vertex of the National Geographic Institute, hence its name. It consists of four bunkers of the type known as a squad post. These posts are rectangular in shape and have loopholes for about twenty riflemen and a machine gun nest in the corner facing the enemy; in the center they have a warehouse and rest area. According to the figure inscribed on them, they were built in 1937 by the company of sappers "Los Barbis".

A nice visit if we go through Fuendetodos, popular because the Spanish painter Francisco de Goya was born in this town in 1746. The house where he was born is located at this point.
