Congosto de Ventamillo, Natural protected area in Seira and El Run, Spain.

The Ventamillo Gorge extends three kilometers with vertical limestone walls along the Ésera river, creating narrow passages through the mountains.

The gorge formed 40,000 years ago when the Ésera glacier, spanning 36 kilometers and reaching 500 meters in depth, carved through the landscape.

Local inhabitants of Seira and El Run maintain traditional Aragonese customs while adapting to modern conservation practices in the protected area.

Eighteen marked climbing routes with varying difficulty levels traverse the gorge walls, each equipped for double rope abseiling during descent.

The gorge's original path, connecting El Run and Seira villages, rises above 1,000 meters and provides views of the Cotiella massif.
