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.

The Río Martín is a modest river by Spanish standards, but it has carved one of the most interesting canyons in Aragon, and the Cultural Park that takes its name protects an extraordinary collection of rock art. El Cerrao is one of the shelters in that park, in the district of Montalbán in the province of Teruel, among cliffs of pale limestone above a dry valley. The paintings here belong to the Levantine tradition and are part of the group UNESCO inscribed in 1998.

Alcañiz is the capital of the Bajo Aragón, a region of olive groves, cereal fields and dry hills crossed by the Guadalope river in the south-east of Aragón. The town is crowned by a castle built for the Order of Calatrava, now a parador, and its main square, with a Gothic loggia and the town hall, is one of the finest in the region. The shelter of the Mas de Barberà lies in the hills just outside town, toward Castelserás and Calanda.

Where the Ebro and the Segre meet near Mequinenza, the rivers have been dammed into two long reservoirs, and the result is a strange, beautiful landscape of blue water filling deep valleys among dry, terraced hills. The rock shelters of Mas de Patriciel lie in the hills between Mequinenza, Nonaspe and Fayón, part of the network of painted sites that UNESCO listed as the Mediterranean rock art of Iberia.
