Peña Oroel, Crag and tail formation in Huesca Province, Spain.
The Peña Oroel rises 1,769 meters above sea level, featuring steep cliffs and a distinct rocky summit visible from multiple points in the region.
Throughout centuries, the peak served as a strategic observation point, with fires lit at its summit to signal the start of battles during the Reconquista.
The mountain holds religious importance as the site of an annual mass led by the Bishop of Huesca on the Sunday before Christmas.
The hiking trail begins at the Mirador de Oroel viewpoint and winds through pine forests, covering approximately 600 meters of elevation gain.
The geological structure results from differential erosion patterns, where harder rock formations protect underlying softer materials, creating its characteristic shape.
