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.

Ágreda lies at the foot of Moncayo and enjoys an enormous historical heritage of cultures: Celtiberian, Roman, Muslim, Jewish and Christian. Of the latter, the Romanesque temples of San Miguel Arcángel, Virgen de la Peña and San Juan Bautista stand out especially.

Ágreda is an important town in Soria at the foot of Moncayo and bordering La Rioja and Navarra. Its intricate streets are full of Roman, Visigoth and Muslim history. Furthermore, if you are interested in gastronomy, Ágreda is an ideal place to make a stop along the way.

Running along the bottom of the Val ravine, we come across a sign that indicates the detour to the Peña del Tío Fresquito, which we will access by a small staircase and a subsequent climb. If we can do it, it is worth it for the good views it offers us of the Val valley.
