Fuentes De Ebro lies near the confluence of the Ebro and Ginel rivers. Its landscape combines dry steppe with riparian forests along both rivers. Historic sites, architecture, and paths through green spaces complement this landscape. During your stay, you can focus on architectural history, local traditions, or nature watching.
Church Art and Historic Sites
The Iglesia de San Miguel Arcángel offers a concrete insight into the architectural history of the municipality. The present church was built between 1535 and 1545 by the French architect Quinto Pierres Vedel. It is a brick church with three naves of different heights. The exterior brick walls feature Moorish tracery ornaments. The current tower was built later by the architect Félix Navarro. The building therefore makes it possible to distinguish between the period when the church was built and a later phase of tower construction.
Historic points of interest are also found outside the church, within the municipality. Pueblo Viejo de Rodén has been protected since its official recognition in 2017 as a Bien de Interés Cultural, in the category Conjunto de Interés Cultural, designation Sitio Histórico. La Corona is a settlement from the Republican era on the right bank of the Ebro, also within the municipality. The two places therefore represent different historical themes: the protected historic site of Rodén and the settlement of La Corona.
Traditions and Dates
Fuentes De Ebro’s Semana Santa was recognized in 2025 as a Fiesta de Interés Turístico de Aragón. Another local tradition is Los Pastillos, a round pastry with whole eggs fixed in the middle by two strips of dough arranged in a cross. The ingredients include flour, eggs, oil, sugar, Wiener Mehl, sourdough, and orange blossom essence. The date of the celebration associated with Los Pastillos changes each year. If you would like to include this tradition in your travel plans, check the dates for that year before your trip.
Landscape and Routes
At Cabezo Pufarrando, a former alabaster quarry has been restored. A path leads around the hill; from there, you can enjoy expansive views across the Huerta, the quarries, and the surrounding cultivated landscape. The route to Cabezo Pufarrando and the alabaster quarries is about 7 km from the town center. This links the landscape perspective to a specific route length, without conflating the views with the path around the hill.
Fuentes De Ebro also has a network of routes through green spaces that can be explored on foot or by bicycle. A route associated with the Muladar de Fuentes De Ebro is about 4.5 km long and can be traveled on foot, by bicycle, or by car. The route lengths offer a direct comparison: the route to Cabezo is about 7 km, while the route associated with the Muladar is about 4.5 km. Several modes of transport are possible for the latter.
At the Muladar, there is an observation hide outside the fenced area, right next to the feeding station. From there, you can watch birds without disturbing them. One green space also has a woodland trail for running or walking. Signs mark the route, and views of the municipality open up along the way. A green space in Fuentes De Ebro includes a 28-hectare Aleppo pine forest.
