Incredible shapes made by glaciers
See from a afar, from the little tarmac track which leads from the A-132, Riglos is one the best postcard views of the Aragon Pyrenees. The small village appears suddenly, limed and silent, with hardly any element which spoils this mountain village, at the foot of the gigantic rocks which make the village seem small.
Totally vertical mythical walls which appear to release fire when the sun hits them, Riglos is the historic capital of mountaineering in Spain. On its walls of cemented gravel, product of the erosion of the glacial moraines which came down the Pyrenees, entire generations of climbers have been trained and hardened, like the famous Rabadá and Navarro, who died on the north wall of the Eiger (Swiss Alps) in 1963, to whom there is a monument dedicated at the entrance of the village.
