The Mallos de Riglos are formations with vertical walls, in the municipality of Riglos, about 45 kilometres northwest of Huesca, in the Pre-Pyrenees. They reach a maximum height of 275 metres, on the north spur of El Pisón, and their vertical or even overhanging walls are much prized by climbers.
They are formed mainly of Miocene conglomerates, with pebbles cemented by carbonates. Some mallos, such as La Visera, can be climbed to the top on foot; the rest require climbing.
In November 2016 it was approved to declare them a natural monument, together with Agüero and Peña Rueba. A spectacle of reddish rock above the village.
