Zona Zero is Spain's best-known enduro area, centred on the medieval village of Aínsa. The trails are old paths linking villages, many of them now abandoned, and local enthusiasts have been clearing and signposting them since the early 2000s. The terrain is dry, rocky and playful, with views of Monte Perdido. In 2015 Aínsa became the first Spanish round of the Enduro World Series, with a prologue through the town's alleys.

Highlights

• 2015 EWS round with a prologue in Aínsa's old town
