Access

From Barbastro, take road A-1226 to Monesma (16 km). In Monesma follow the signposts towards Terreu until you cross the railway track (10 km). Once there, turn right (West direction) and go on for approximately 2, 2 km, then park the car on one side. Both itineraries begin at that point.

Route description 

Both routes begin at the junction between the main road (HU-V-8741) and the road that gives access to Terreu. The first route heads North, walking up through a path until La Muela de Terreu. It is possible to observe Lesser Whitethroats during the entire course and the feeding area of large predators on the crest. The second route heads towards the South and continues bordering La muela, through cereal fields on which we can observe Alpine Chough, Western Jackdaw, Blue Rock Thrush and Black Wheatear.
