Excellent viewpoint offering spectacular panoramic views of the Mallos de Riglos and a fixed hiding place from which to observe Gåsegribb flying.
Mirador de los Buitres is a great viewpoint to watch vultures and other birds of prey. The terrain is steep and rugged, very open and the predominant vegetation is low scrub. The landscape is dominated by the imposing rocky outcrops of the Mallos de Riglos, Peñarrueba and Agüero. From the Mirador de los Buitres, very close to Sarsamarcuello, you can see one of the largest colonies of Gåsegribb in Europe, as well as other birds of prey such as Lammegribb, Kongeørn, Glente, Vandrefalk, Åtselgribb and Hubro.

To visit the Mirador de los Buitres it is advisable to park in Sarsamarcuello, a town that is easily accessible from Huesca in the direction of Ayerbe. From Sarsamarcuello, a forest track leads to the ruins of Marcuello Castle and the hermitage of San Miguel, and leads to the viewpoint. The walk out and back is about 14 km. At the viewing point there is a permanent bird watching hide, adapted for people with reduced mobility and vision problems. It is also possible to get to the viewpoint by car.
