Pinares de Rodeno

Pinares de Rodeno is a protected forest landscape with red sandstone rocks and dense pine woods in the Albarracin mountains. The area stretches across thousands of hectares at elevations between about 1,100 and 1,600 meters, with varied terrain and rock formations throughout.

The area gained protected status in 1995 when authorities recognized its natural and cultural importance to the region. This protection came after years of research documenting the landscape and its archaeological finds.

Rock shelters scattered across the area show traces of ancient art left by people who lived here long ago. These marks offer a window into how communities used this landscape over thousands of years.

Marked trails wind through the protected area and connect several small towns with parking spots along the way. Paths vary in difficulty, with some easy walks and others steeper climbs through the forest.

The red sandstone rocks here create special conditions where plants grow that exist only in this area. These distinctive stone formations shape the entire look of the landscape and attract specific animal species.
