General presentation
Tarazona and Moncayo
Mudejare town, Moncayo massif, monasteries, villages and landscapes between Aragon, Navarre and Castile.
The discovery of Tarazona and Moncayo revolves around Tarazona, Tarazona Cathedral and Moncayo. The stay thus alternates between urban life, mountain reliefs, heritage and natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be expected: wind and weather on the Moncayo and rather short stay. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Tarazona
Tarazona understands itself as an entrance in complete matter: dense center, various facades and open perspectives towards the hills. A loop course reveals the contrasts of materials without forcing. In general, the morning is the clearest time for lines and detail.
Place
Moncayo
The Moncayo first offers strong geographical views, then more intimate areas as you approach the trails. The experience wins when you split the walk to capture reliefs, hues and landscape orientation. Light fog hours sometimes create an unexpected reading.
Place
Trasmoz
Trasmoz offers a unique local experience with its ancient passageways and thresholds. A small walk tour, with short breaks, brings out details of architecture and residential atmosphere. Clear days highlight textures.
Place
Borja
Borja is lit by the contrast of its active urban centre and its more residential margins, accessible within a few kilometers of walking distance. Interest comes from the way local materials respond to light. An early moment reveals better visual readings.
