Moncayo, Mountain summit in Aragon, Spain

The Moncayo mountain chain extends 15 kilometers in length and 7 kilometers in width between the provinces of Zaragoza and Soria.

During the Roman period, Marcus Valerius Martialis documented this mountain as Mons Caius, marking its presence in ancient geographical records.

The mountain forms a natural border between Castilian plateaus and Aragonese steppes, influencing the development of distinct regional characteristics on each side.

The summit can be reached through a three-hour hike from the village of San Martin de la Virgen de Moncayo via established paths.

The mountain hosts some of Europe's southernmost beech forests and maintains snow cover on its highest peaks from October through May.
