A wonderful experience! The view from Castillo de Marcuello and the Mirador de los Buitres is truly worth the trip — a spectacular panorama over the Mallos de Riglos, the gorges, the cliffs, and the entire surrounding valley.

For access, we drove up via Sarsamarcuello and came back down using the track leading toward Loarre Castle. I definitely recommend the route through Sarsamarcuello: the track is wider and allows you to pass oncoming vehicles without difficulty or dangerous maneuvers. In contrast, the descent toward Loarre includes several very narrow sections where crossing another vehicle would be tricky, impossible without reversing.
As for the condition of the track (it was dry during our visit), you’ll still need a vehicle with decent ground clearance — we went up in a Duster, which was perfect. Some parts have large stones or uneven surfaces, so a low-clearance car might struggle or get damaged. That said, a 4x4 isn’t necessary in dry weather, as long as your vehicle is a bit raised.

Las vistas desde el mirador que hay en la partenque da al valle son estupendas. Recomendado llevar prismáticos. Siguiendo el camino se llega al mirador de los buitres, otro punto al que merece la pena ir.
El castillo en sí sólo conserva una pared de la torre y la iglesia de detrás, que estaba cerrada cuando estuvimos. No sabemos si...
