La Regüelta el Trago (also known as Revuelta del Trago) is a traditional and picturesque enclave located on the climb to the Sanctuary of the Virgen del Águila, in Paniza, Zaragoza. It's a landmark in local pilgrimages, where locals often stop for a rest... and, as the name suggests, for a drink! 🍷

Nice church that we found in the town of Paniza. It is the Church of Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles in and is of Mudejar art and dates from the second half of the 16th century.

At the top of Pico del Águila is the Hermitage of the Virgen del Águila. The site is in perfect condition thanks to the excellent work of the residents of the town of Paniza. In summer it is usually open and you can visit it. The views are magnificent of the Sierra de Algairén, behind that of Moncayo. It has a table at the back sheltered from the wind and in full sun, which is perfect for recovering energy and/or temperature in winter.

eye! Nice but at the same time complicated "trunk" bridge that we find on our route. Of course, there is a rope that will help us cross it

Beautiful weir of the Huerva river that gives us a small waterfall in the middle of nature.

Nice wooden suspension bridge that helps us cross the Huerva River. Go with a firm step, it moves a little!

We find ourselves going up the ravine of the hortales, by the path known as the one of the Tía. It will guide us until we reach the North range of the Sierra de Algairén. Nice path with awesome views when you reach the top.
