PETILLA DE ARAGÓN HIKING

Petilla de Aragón is in a privileged enclave, surrounded by forests and halfway up the mountainside as if seeking the warmth of the sun. Protected by a rock where there was once an impregnable castle, the route we propose takes us to the summit to, along the cornice of the mountain range, contemplate Petilla on one side and the Aragonese valley of Onsella with the snow-capped peaks on the other. of the Pyrenees as a backdrop. A circular route through a territory of dense forests that descends to the valley and ascends again passing by the old laundry and the hermitage of La Caridad. A secluded place in Navarra with a lot of history that we definitely recommend you visit.

PRACTICAL TIPS

-Petilla de Aragón is on a hill, the road is winding but is in good condition, however drive with caution.
As soon as you arrive there is a small parking lot at the entrance.
– In Petilla de Aragón you can visit the birthplace of Ramón y Cajal, go up to the viewpoint where the castle was and enjoy the local cuisine at the Ramón y Cajal hostel, decorated with cheerful colors.
– The route goes up to the mountains to contemplate the wide panoramic views, on one side Petilla and its mountains and on the other the Pyrenees. The route has some signage and is easy to follow. We recommend wearing long pants because, although the paths are clear, the scrubland is full of brambles.
