1. El Planerón on pedals
Belchite, Codo
El Planerón is home to a landscape unparalleled in Europe, with a semi-desert steppe environment and unique flora and fauna. Through this route, with little technical difficulty, we encourage you to discover this unique environment with your gravel bike or MTB.
Leaving from Belchite heading north, the route arrives at Codo between olive groves. After crossing the town, it heads towards La Lomaza and La Petriza, mountain ranges that will accompany us in the background throughout the route. The route crosses the entire Planerón plain, covered with crop fields, and passes by a pond and an ornithological observatory. After crossing Codo again, the route returns to Belchite passing under the Saso and its windmills.
