Near Limpiaque and Rueda de Jalón we find this beautiful natural space, with a marked itinerary and information panels that will guide us through the place. We will discover walkways and trails (suitable for wheelchairs), picnic tables in case we want to eat or rest, a raised viewpoint, the ornithological observatory, an old laundry, or monumental trees, an ideal activity for families. Important: To access the venue we must ask for the keys at the Rueda de Jalón bar (next to the town hall) leaving the DNI and/or a deposit.

The beautiful town of Épila has a lot to teach you with how small it is. Apart from natural and scenic attractions worth visiting, we must also highlight the Condes de Aranda Palace (from the 16th century), the Marquises of Saudi or the Condes de Montenegrón building. If we also like to visit religious heritage, the town of the Valdejalón region has the Church of Santa María la Mayor or the hermitage of Santa María Magdalena

Located in a mountain area far from all the surrounding towns, the Sanctuary is made up of a church, the parish house, the house of the santero and a guesthouse. Around it grew a neighborhood of small houses still inhabited. Next to the Sanctuary there is a small restaurant that, without much sophistication, can be used to have a drink in the middle of the route. There are also tables and barbecues where (if restrictions allow) you can make your own food. The road from Epila has recently been paved. It is about 15 km with about 300 meters of unevenness, so it is a bit difficult in the direction of the Sanctuary but it is very easy in the direction of Epila. As it is a paved rural road, it has little traffic, mainly from local vehicles and especially on weekends. Once in the Sanctuary, you can make MTB routes in the surroundings, taking advantage of the unevenness of the surrounding mountains, and its pine forests (partly devastated two decades ago by a strong fire). Starting from Epila, it is an easy and not very demanding route of about 30 km that, although it crosses a large plain with few emotions, has the reward of arriving in the wooded area and the picnic area. Perfect for a family outing. http://www.sipca.es/censo/1-INM-ZAR-016-099-004/Santuario/de/Nuestra/Se%C3%B1ora/de/Rodanas.html#.X0KJETXtY2w

A remnant of Industrial Heritage, a reminder of the days when the sugar beet industry was a booming business. The neighborhood that surrounds it is part of the original infrastructure of the factory. It is next to the beginning of the path that leads to the Sanctuary of Rodanas. http://www.sipca.es/censo/1-INM-ZAR-016-099-108/Azucarera/del/Jal%C3%B3n.html#.X0KIcTXtY2w
