Salto de Roldán, Rock formation in Sierra Natural Park, Spain.
The Salto de Roldán formation consists of two massive conglomerate crags, San Miguel and Amán, rising 1124 meters above the Flumen River gorge.
During the Muslim conquest of Spain, the strategic location of Salto de Roldán served as a fortified position controlling access to the Ebro River valleys.
Local folklore attributes the name to Roland, a French knight who reportedly jumped across the gorge on horseback while escaping from pursuing forces.
Visitors can follow marked trails to reach the summit of Peña San Miguel, where medieval fortress ruins and the Saint Michael hermitage remain accessible.
The geological formations house numerous Griffon vultures that nest within the hollows of the conglomerate structures shaped during the Tertiary period.
