To the south of the road N-240 the countryside is flat which favours the grain-producing agriculture. When one looks up it is easy to see the flight of the ash-coloured eagle, the kite or the vulture. Here, the blue Somontano sky invites tranquillity and the chance to take one's time to visit its countryside and villages.
In the towns sat on plains delimited by the great rivers Cinca and Alcanadre there are very few shallow springs. Ingenuity gave our ancestors the idea for a strange construction which would facilitate access to the underground springs: the spring wells. It consisted in the excavation in the rock of a well with various galleries which could be entered by a flight of partly vaulted stairs.
Perhaps the best known well is the Pozo Nuevo de Laluenga, but there are many others throughout the land: Ponzano, Laperdiguera, Monesma, Lagunarrota...
