The Route of the King Fernando BTT allows us to know the land that gave birth to Fernando El Católico on our Mountain Bike.
It takes us through medieval towns among which both Uncastillo and Sos del Rey Católico stand out. The hermitages, castles and abandoned villages tell us about the historical importance of this region.
The variety of landscapes is incredible, highlighting the passage through the Protected Landscape of the Sierra de Santo Domingo. The summits of Santo Domingo (1,509 m) and Puy Moné (1,313 m) are the most emblematics.
And we take care of everything: accommodation, food, transport of suitcases, insurance, travel assistance, ... You only have to pedal in absolute solitude discovering this hidden gem in the region of Altas Cinco Villas.

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.
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.
