The Sierra and Canyons of Guara Natural Park, with its spectacular rocky cliffs carved out by water, offer a multitude of breathtaking landscapes accessible along marked trails: the Mascún ravine, the crests of Balced, the natural springs of La Tamara and Puntillo, Vero Canyon, La Cunarda, etc.

Thanks to this network of signposted routes, the environs of Bierge, Rodellar, Alquézar and Colungo can be explored to reveal unique landscapes, gorges teeming with flora and fauna, cave paintings, towers and crenellated walls, shrines, traditional architecture, and the legends of maidens, ghosts and Moors.
