Moncayo, the tallest peak in the Iberian System at 2316 meters, is cloaked in a diverse array of forests and meadows due to its wide range of climatic zones, from arctic to arid, spread across its summit and slopes. It encompasses Central Europe’s quintessential boreal forests.
Our journey begins through a holm oak, an oak woodland and a vast pine forest (we engage in slow driving with pauses).
We abandon our car and proceed under another Scots pine forest until we encounter a beech forest and almost deserted summer meadows. Our return journey takes us through another pine forest amidst scree, over a pair of glacial cirques until we reach the Sanctuary (couple of springs en route, including the Fuente del Fraile) and then we descend to the parking area.
