Towering walls of rock known as Los Mallos de Riglos, dwarf the white houses in the village of Riglos in Huesca, Aragon in Spain, Europe.

Los Mallos de Riglos, in Huesca, Aragon in Spain, were formed over the centuries by alluvial deposits of sand and gravel building up, folding over the base layers, growing and eroding until the towering walls of rock are what is seen today. The odd shapes of each formation have received names such as Pure, Pison and Fire to name a few.Los Mallos de Riglos are very popular with rock climbers and the views from the top are astounding. At the entrance to the village or Riglos in Huesca, there is a monument to honour Rabada and Navarro, two exceptional mountaineers who pioneered many of the routes up Los Mallos de Riglos, making it easier for future rock climbers.Village of Riglos with the rock formations of Mallos de Riglos towering above, Huesca, Aragon, Spain, Europe.
