Nature · Añón de Moncayo, Tarazona y el Moncayo, Zaragoza

The Moncayo natural park, formerly called the Dehesa del Moncayo natural park, extends over the colder, wetter north-facing slope of Mount Moncayo, the highest peak of the Iberian System, on the boundary between the provinces of Zaragoza and Soria. It covers 11,144 hectares shared among several municipalities, including Añón de Moncayo, and its altitude ranges from 600 metres near the Huecha river to 2,315 metres at the summit of the Cerro de San Miguel. It was created in 1978 as the Dehesa del Moncayo natural park and took its current name in 1998; it also holds the protected-area designations LIC (Site of Community Importance) and ZEPA (Special Protection Area for Birds).
