We spent one night in this cabin during a 3-day tour in the Bardenas. This cabin is spartan but protects from the rain and wind. It is possible to make a fire in the fireplace. There is a small broom to do a little cleaning. No table or chairs but something to sit on the walls. There is water behind but not drinkable, maybe with micropures it is possible.

Ruins of an ancient Roman aqueduct.

The aqueduct is one of the most representative elements of the Los Bañales site. It served, in addition to supplying water to the inhabitants, to feed the enormous hot springs of the city.

The ruins found on the track that connects Luesia with the Pígalo pools are known as the castle of Sibirana. The ruins of the hermitage of Santa Quiteria also remain from this deserted area. This nucleus is part of a defensive line ordered to be built in the 10th century by King Sancho Garcés I of Pamplona. The sight of the towers erected on two stone masses gives an idea of the magnitude and engineering of these structures.

Uncastillo, located in the region of Cinco Villas in Aragon, is by the extent of its historical and architectural heritage a real treasure in itself. Around Uncastillo Castle, there are no less than six churches. They all date from a different era. The Church of San Martin in Tours, with its magnificent Romanesque porch and its expressive characters, clearly dates from the Romanesque period. The Church of San Andrés, with its colonnades and its coat of arms, is more from the Renaissance period. Don't miss, finally, the museum of the Tower. If you are tired of religious monuments, do not hesitate to get lost in the many streets of the village.

This village does not go unnoticed! In its center, you cannot miss its impressive castle. In the plains of the province of Zaragoza, its imposing keep is indeed visible from afar.
