Today we visited a couple of places in Aragon. The Mallos de Riglos (English: Mallets of Riglos) are a set of conglomerate rock formations, located in the municipality of Las Peñas de Riglos, in the Hoya de Huesca comarca, in Aragon, Spain. They are located near Las Peñas de Riglos some 45 km to the northwest of the city of Huesca. Rising to some 300 metres high (c. 1000 metres above sea level), they form part of the foothills of the Pyrenees. The Mallos were formed when eroded material washed down from the slopes of the Pyrenees and became cemented together by limestone. Over time, this mixture became compacted into a large mass of conglomerate rock. Eventually, erosion wore away the softer, more porous parts of the conglomerate. The more resistant rock remained, and became the formations known as the Mallos de Riglos. Because of their relatively vertical sides, the Mallos de Riglos are a popular destination for climbers. Agüero is a village and a municipality located in the province of Huesca, Aragon, Spain. There are two churches in the village (Santiago and San Salvador). The 12th-century Santiago church is the main attraction in the village proper. There is also a small hotel in the village. The Mallos de Agüero rock formations rise more than 200 m above the village, giving it a picturesque look. The Mallos are popular with mountain climbers and abseilers. #castellodeloarre #mallosderiglos #aguero
