When I go for a walk, I'm like a child, looking for puddles and paths with a childlike spirit. Be careful not to follow in my footsteps, or you might end up in a ditch. You've been warned.

The Valdegurriana locks are locks of the Imperial Canal of Aragon located in the municipality of Zaragoza, Spain. They were used for the navigation of the canal transporting people and goods for decades. They are not currently in use because the gates were removed years ago. The locks were built at the end of the 18th century with the aim of bridging a gap in the Imperial Canal of Aragon and making it navigable. Valdegurriana is located within the extensive wooded mass known as Pinares de Venecia. The path that runs through Valdegurriana and that connects the neighborhood of La Paz with La Cartuja is part of the Green Belt of Zaragoza.

Good route from Puebla de Alfinden for the first 5 km, semi-flat, then you arrive at Alfajarin and go under the AP2 highway and turn left to go up the stairs followed by a slope that reaches the Virgen de la Peña hermitage. Followed by the castle, by the way, very good views of the town of Alfajarin and its fields, you can also see the capital Maña on the horizon. Following the path leads us to the Osborne bull from where we once again have wonderful views of the mountains with their paths made by walkers and irrigation that are irrigated by the Urdan canal, continuing with the path we pass by the hunters' house continuing along trails of the ravines we make out the Puebla de alfinden about 4km and we have already finished the route that is circular in total 12km of ups and downs. Fill good shoes, water, and something to eat just in case, normal physique for all public, very pretty and entertaining

The Pina de Ebro dam complements the dam that diverts water to an irrigation ditch. The damming of water has favored the presence of aquatic birds and vegetation.

In the Valdegurriana locks we will find an ideal place to spend time with the family, with children (there is a playground) or just enjoying nature very close to the big city. There is also a picnic area with wooden tables and benches and a fountain next to the children's playground.
