Secrets of the Linares River

Linares de Mora · Teruel · Aragón

Set amid a river landscape of great natural beauty, this unique route begins just outside Linares de Mora, taking us to two of the municipality’s most photographed natural landmarks: the monumental Pino Obrado and the fascinating Pozo Navarro. This 4.6-kilometer route stands out for its ease and gentle terrain, making it an unbeatable option for a relaxed family outing into the high mountains. The hike comes to life as you cross the historic Islamic Bridge, a charming structure that connects you to the gardens of the Ermita del Loreto. After a pleasant stroll along the riverbank, the Pino Obrado comes into view, an tree honored with the title of “Singular Tree of Aragon.” Beholding this 20-meter-tall giant is a true spectacle; its trunk, with an imposing girth nearing two meters in diameter, bears the mark of a lightning strike. The route’s grand finale is the Pozo Navarro, a majestic hidden spot where the river pools, creating a large pool of crystal-clear, deep turquoise water. Surrounded by imposing rock walls, this oasis stands out as the ideal place to cap off a route brimming with beauty and adventure.
