The Pre-Pyrenees (which constitute the outer ranges of the Pyrenees mountains) and the Somontano region (which lies in the foothills of the Pyrenees ) are the two geomorphic units that mark the transition between the Mediterranean and Atlantic climate zones. This implies the observation of a wide biodiversity of species both in terms of flora and fauna. You may come across species on the same excursion that are many kilometers apart in Europe, such as holm-oak groves (Quercus ilex) together with Scots pine forests (Pinus silvestrys), or rosemary (Rosmarinus oficinalis) together with Pyrenean-violets (Ramonda myconi).
The proposed trails will lead us through a contrast of landscapes, from the arid steppes of the south of the Somontano region to the rocky limestone peaks of the pre-Pyrenees, in less than 50 km.
Earth, fire, air and water are the 4 elements of nature that you can find hidden in the Aragonese Pre-Pyrenees regions. We recommend three adventures for families on weekend trips: “Planet Earth”, “Among parks and rivers” and “Back in time” where you will have to find our hidden treasures, overcoming fun challenges and travelling through the most beautiful and magical landscapes of each region.

The Pre-Pyrenees boast a rich landscape and include some of the most unique and representative geological formations on the entire peninsula.
With the passage of time, thanks to a varied climate and the nature of its limestone rock, water and wind have carved out exceptional reliefs, including vertical walls and magnificent conglomerate mallos (vertical geological formations), deep ravines and abysses, narrow gorges and monuments as spectacular as Mallos de Riglos, and the numerous ravines of Sierra de Guara, among which, Mascún Ravine—one of the hidden gems of the Pre-Pyrenees—stands out.
