Path to Otín & view of the Pirineos

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this elevated spot you have a good chance of seeing the Pyrenees in the distance. The steep peaks stand out clearly from the surrounding green hills. In the landscape that spreads out before you, there are no signs of human civilization except for a few derelict shacks. The descendants of the last villagers are some large and wild goats, but they always keep a safe distance from the hikers.

Dolmen of Losa Mora

Highlight • Historical Site

The Losa Mora dolmen is located within the Sierra y Cañones de Guara natural park, near Rodellar and the Mascún canyon. This burial chamber dates from the Neolithic and consists of large slabs in a good state of preservation. Being on top of a hill, the visit to the dolmen also allows you to enjoy beautiful views of the mountains.

The forgotten village Otín

Highlight • Settlement

In the middle of the Sierra de Guara natural park lies the abandoned mountain village of Otín. The small church of the place is still very well preserved. Nevertheless, you must be careful when visiting the village: All buildings are dilapidated and the ceilings collapse. Of course, there is nothing in the way of a break in the shade of the trees overlooking the small houses.

Viewpoint: Cañon del Mascún

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can let your gaze wander far above the riverbed of the Río Mascún. While vultures circle in the warm updrafts down in the canyon, you can enjoy the view of the surrounding mountains and the rugged rock faces.

Bruno Luro
June 13, 2024, J4 Aragon Gorges de Mascum - Dolmen de Losa Mora

Near Rodellar and towards the famous Mascún ravine, we contemplated the large prehistoric stone that is the Dolmen de la Losa Mora (burial chamber). By observing its size and its solitary location in the landscape, the inhabitants of the place imagined fantasies to explain how such a mass could have formed in this enclave. Therefore, you will see the light that says that these tiers pass a hill with its street and a large stone above the head, and that when you leave the room where the stone is already in a horizontal position on other sides that it is on the clavadas on the ground. The figure of a spinner is a kind of fairy in remote mythologies, representing life and death, since while she spins with her spinning wheel, she is alive, but when the thread runs out, it dies , and in this case he leaves the stone he carries on his head to make his own grave
