The Ruta Jubierre | Jubierre track is an unpaved route that leads into the Barrancos de Jubierre, a badlands area within Aragón’s semi-arid Los Monegros region (it’s not technically a desert). We began from the southern end near the village of Castejón de Monegros, heading northward to exit onto the A-131 towards Sariñena. To visit Tozal Solitario, an isolated rock formation, we wisely left the van on the main track & walked to the formation (📷1). Tozal de Colásico is larger & can be seen without leaving the main track (📷2); you can also drive right up to it, as this camper did. Tozales de Los Pedregales is a collection of four eroded clay formations & ravines reached via a short but well-marked hike (📷3); this is formation no. 4. Tozal de la Cobeta is apparently the most photographed formation (📷4); we drove off the main track right up to this one, avoiding a hot 6km return hike. It took us ~3h to make the drive at ~30km/h max & to take short hikes to the formations. It had been dry so the dirt was very compacted & we had no concerns about clearance in our 2WD camper; we used the width of the road to avoid ruts & corrugations, as traffic was light. There was no avoiding the dust though; the van really needs a bath!
