Pasarelas del Vero, Elevated walkway system along Vero River in Alquézar, Spain
Pasarelas del Vero is a system of wooden walkways built along the Vero River in Alquézar, running through narrow canyons and past vertical rock faces. The bridges and paths form a continuous route that winds through the gorge, connecting sections of the river landscape with access points along the cliffs.
The paths were created to help local people navigate the challenging terrain and access the river's water in the Sierra de Guara region. Over time these early routes developed into the walkway system that exists today, which now serves visitors exploring the canyon.
The walkways link visitors with the landscape that surrounds Alquézar, allowing people to experience the river and its natural setting as part of their visit. Walking here brings you into contact with the geological features that have shaped how locals relate to their environment.
Wear shoes with good grip since the walkways can become slippery, especially after rain or when the river is high. The route demands steady balance and is not suitable for people with mobility issues or a fear of heights.
Several observation points along the walkways offer chances to watch griffon vultures nesting in the sheer cliffs above. These large birds of prey make the canyon their home and are often seen soaring above the river.

Aragon stretches across three provinces in northeastern Spain, preserving more than two thousand years of history through its monasteries, castles and medieval villages. The region displays Moorish towers in Teruel, Romanesque churches in the Pyrenees and Gothic bridges along ancient trade routes. Natural parks protect limestone canyons, caves holding prehistoric paintings and mountain ranges extending to the French border. Visitors explore fortified villages such as Albarracín and Sos del Rey Católico, where stone walls and narrow lanes tell of medieval life. The 11th-century Castillo de Loarre stands on a hilltop overlooking the Ebro valley, while Sierra de Guara Natural Park provides trails through deep gorges. Monasteries including San Juan de la Peña and Monasterio de Piedra connect religious history with surrounding landscapes, creating destinations that combine cultural heritage with natural environments.
