Castejón de Sos – Trails, Peaks and Local Culture

In Castejón de Sos, the PR-HU 86 route starts in the main square on Avenida El Ral. A second hiking route follows a circular path via Arasán, Liri and Sos before returning to Castejón de Sos: PR-HU 88. This makes it possible to compare different starting points and route types when planning a day, without limiting the destinations to a single experience. The two hiking routes have different characteristics: PR-HU 86 is described by its starting point in the main square, while PR-HU 88 is defined by the sequence of several villages and its return to the starting point. These differences make the type of route itself a tangible criterion when planning a day.

Hiking and Nature

A wide variety of birdlife can be observed along the OR-6 route by the Ésera River. Between willows, poplars, ash trees and oaks, the view extends across meadows and the riverbank, whose tranquillity can also be enjoyed there.
