CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
386 km from Nueno to Nueno, about 6 h 45 of riding. On the way it passes Abrigo de la Ermita de San Urbez, El Remosillo and back through Abrigo de la Ermita de San Urbez. The stored terrain estimate reaches about 1,750 m; a measured road-elevation profile is not available. It suits an unhurried touring pace.
Expect company on a summer weekend. Early is better than fast. For about 91 km this is Pyrenees N260 Route, a road with a name of its own and a reason for it.
Just north of Huesca, where the flat cereal land of the Hoya suddenly rears up into the first limestone walls of the Pre-Pyrenees, lies the little village of Nueno and, above it, the rock shelter named after Santa Eulalia de la Peña. This is the southern edge of the Sierra de Guara country, a landscape of gorges, conglomerate cliffs and scrub where griffon vultures ride the thermals and the light comes hard off pale stone.

Abrigo de Santa Eulaliade la Peña is where the day begins. Next is Abrigo de la Ermita de San Urbez.
The Añisclo canyon is one of the deepest and narrowest in the Spanish Pyrenees, a cleft in the limestone of the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, and the road that runs through its lower section is one of the most remarkable in Aragon. At its southern end, beside an old stone bridge over the Bellós river, stands the hermitage of San Úrbez, built half into the cliff, with a cave behind it where tradition says the saint lived as a hermit. Close by, rock shelters hold traces of prehistoric painting.

Abrigo de la Ermita de San Urbez comes up about 114 km into the recorded legs. Next is El Remosillo.
If you ride north from Barbastro toward Graus, the Ésera river eventually forces its way through a ridge of limestone, and the result is the Congosto de Olvena, a short, deep gorge with the road squeezed between rock and water. Up on the cliffs around here are rock shelters with prehistoric paintings, and El Remosillo is one of the best known in this corner of Aragón, between Estadilla, Graus and Fonz.
