Discover Aragosa: Nature Park, Trails and Romanesque Church

Aragosa is located in the Parque Natural del Barranco del Río Dulce, designated in 2003. For your travel planning, you can consider this geographical classification as a distinct natural feature.

Nature

The Parque Natural del Barranco del Río Dulce includes the Cascada de Aragosa, which is formed by small travertine or tufa dams on the Río Dulce. For your travel planning, the natural area and the waterfall can be viewed from two different perspectives: one concerns their inclusion in the Parque Natural, while the other concerns the specific formation of the Cascada in the river.

Trails and River Course

The Camino de Pelegrina a la Cabrera y Aragosa trail starts in Aragosa and passes through the Cañón de Aragosa canyon and the Estrecho del Portacho gorge. It is recommended for bicycles and is suitable for pushchairs along its entire length.

Another connection is provided by the GR-10 stage from Torremocha del Campo to Mandayona. It connects Torremocha del Campo, Pelegrina, La Cabrera, Aragosa and Mandayona. The final section of this stage runs along the Río Dulce between Aragosa and Mandayona, continues between fields and poplar groves from the junction with the CM-1001 road, and then reaches Mandayona.

The PR-GU 08 circular route is 11 km long and connects Mirabueno, Aragosa and Mandayona. It starts at the Centro de Interpretación de la Naturaleza of the Parque Natural del Barranco del Río Dulce and runs along paths and forest tracks. A 17 km trail leads from Aragosa to Pelegrina through the Parque Natural del Barranco del Río Dulce, following the course of the river.

The routes can be compared according to their format as a trail, stage or circular route, as well as by length, course and surface. The place names on the stages and circular route help distinguish the respective connections; for your daily planning, you can consider a circular route, a linear route and a riverside route as different organisational formats alongside one another. You can take the information about bicycles and pushchairs into account separately.

Culture

Aragosa is home to the Romanesque church of Iglesia de San Roque. Its semicircular masonry apse adapts to the uneven terrain. The church contains a Romanesque baptismal font decorated with lobes edged by cords. Aragosa has a compact historic centre with examples of rural architecture.

When planning cultural visits, the exterior, interior furnishings and historic centre can be considered separately. For visits to the Iglesia de San Roque de Aragosa, you should ask the Ayuntamiento de Mandayona for the service times. The feast of San Roque in Aragosa is celebrated on 16 August.
