4. Route Ralla de la Negra
Legend says that in the past Las Bardenas was a barren land where bandits took refuge. Many of these bandits were very popular in the region, but, without a doubt, the most famous was “Sanchicorrota El Rey de las Bardenas” (king of the Bardenas), who lived in the 15th century and whose real name was Sancho de Rota. It seems that while hiding in a cave he would assault the rich and share the loot with his partners in crime. He became so important that John II King of Aragon planned an ambush with 220 men to capture Sanchicorrota.
