Monegros Desert, Desert region in Aragon, Spain
The Monegros Desert spans 2,764 square kilometers across Zaragoza and Huesca provinces, featuring dry riverbeds, rocky outcrops, and natural depressions.
The area received protected status in 1992 as part of the Natura 2000 network due to its high concentration of endemic species and biological diversity.
Local communities maintain agricultural traditions through scattered farms while celebrating regional heritage with music festivals and gastronomic events throughout the year.
Visitors can access numerous designated viewpoints and hiking trails through a network of well-maintained roads connecting the desert to neighboring municipalities.
A 1999 scientific survey documented over 5,400 different species in this semi-arid region, including rare birds like lesser kestrels nesting in natural caves.
