LAS ROSCAS, A SINGULAR LANDSCAPE
Circle route. Long Jump 7,1 km. Unevenness 130 metres. Estimated tour time: 2,5 hours.
This route starts next to the parking lot that is before the Fitero bridge. We take a path to the right that leads to a farm road along which we border fields and crops. Approximately 2,4 kilometers into the route we find the Cueva de la Mora, which owes its name to the tragic love story between a Christian knight and a beautiful Moorish woman. We can also find very close by one of the best preserved refrigerators in Navarra: the San Valentín or Friars refrigerator.
We continue the ascent up a fairly steep slope and as we climb we can see the ruins of the Arab castle of Tudejen. These are located 1,6 km further on, taking a detour to the left. At 500 meters there is a shelter.
A little further on, four hundred meters away, to the right is the summit and formations of the Blancares, 300 meters to the left are the Roscas which can be reached if you are willing to climb a little. The views from this place are unique like this particular place.
We descend following the path that crosses Las Roscas until we reach the point where we began the ascent. At the fork we take the path to the right and thus return to our starting point.
