It is difficult to visit, but in the town there is a Cave Interpretation Center.

The summit of Moncayo, also known as Pico San Miguel, is the highest mountain in the Iberian system, with an altitude of 2315 metres. It is located between the provinces of Zaragoza (Aragon) and Soria (Castile and Leon) in Spain. To reach the summit, many hikers start from the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Moncayo, located at 1621 metres. From there, the route passes through the Cucharón cirque and the San Miguel basin before reaching the summit. The route offers spectacular views and is especially popular in spring and summer.

Beautiful town of Soria at the foot of Moncayo. Its name is due to its Cave that appears in the photo. Good bar and good torreznos.

Last part of the climb, the hardest.

Moncayo never disappoints. From Cueva de Agreda the climb is longer and harder, but it is worth the sacrifice. The views from the summit, towards Aragon and towards Castilla, are impressive.

Ólvega is a municipality in Soria in the community of Castilla y León. Its origin dates back to the beginning of the 5th century, although even older archaeological remains have been found from two nearby Celtiberian forts. It is popularly known as "Niña del Moncayo", for being at the foot of this mountain, and also as "Second Numancia", for the popular revolt of 1474 to avoid rendering vassalage to the Count of Medinaceli.

Medieval fortress located on top of the hill near the town of Ciria. The history of the castle is linked to the passage of Muslims through the area, since it served to monitor their passage.
