Moncayo is a 15 km long and about 7 km wide mountain massif giving name to the Tarazona y el Moncayo comarca, Aragon, Spain. The Moncayo's highest summit, San Miguel (2,314 m), is the highest point in the 500 km long Sistema Ibérico. The Moncayo is located between the provinces of Zaragoza in Aragon and Soria in Castile and León.〔(Gran Enciclopedia Aragonesa - Moncayo )〕 The ridge's highest summits are usually covered in snow between October and May every year. ==Description== Besides the San Miguel, the Moncayo massif includes two other peaks that are almost identical and are located close together, Cerro San Juan (2,283 m) and Peña Lobera (2226 m). This mountain was mentioned as ''Mons Caius'' by Marcus Valerius Martialis in Ancient Roman times. The nearest large town to Moncayo is Tarazona, with many old and historical buildings, located on the massif's northern side 10 km away from it. There are also smaller villages closer to the mountain. The Sierra de Nava Alta and Sierra del Bollón are eastern prolongations of the Moncayo Massif. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moncayo Massif」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
