The Mallos de Riglos, in the foothills of Aragon’s Pyrenees Mountains, are conglomerations of sand and gravel from ancient rivers discharging into the Ebro depression. Birds of many species use the walls as nesting grounds, including one of Europe’s rarest raptors, the lammergeier, a huge bird with a wingspan of nearly three meters (10 feet). The Mallos are also a magnet for rock climbers–the large building in the lower right of the photo is the Refugio Riglos, where mountaineers as well as everyone from mountain bikers to mushroom hunters can find inexpensive food and lodging.
