Nature

Hidden valleys, dreamy landscapes

The Hoya de Huesca region is a transition area between the pre-Pyrenean mountains and the Ebro valley, where one third of the territory is located in mountain territory, with large forest areas, and the rest occupies a large cereal plain, whose central nucleus is the city of Huesca, regional and provincial capital.

The Hoya de Huesca hosts most of the Natural Park of the Sierra and the Cannons of Guara, and in it are the most amazing contrasts, from the highest heights of the Tozal de Guara (2,077 meters) to the deepest chasms of the mountain.

The spectacular nature of the Guara Park lies in the originality of its landscapes and the unusual beauty of its canyons, ravines and gorges.

Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park

In the Aragonese Pyrenees we find some of the highest peaks in Spain, glaciers and countless spectacular waterfalls or deep valleys.

Undoubtedly our biggest treasure, declared World Heritage by UNESCO, is the National Park of Ordesa and Monte Perdido which is made up of a set of four valleys (Ordesa, Añisclo, Escuaín and Pineta), which extend as arms around the Monte Perdido, the highest limestone massif in Europe. It is the true heart of the Pyrenees and one of the first protected nature areas in Europe.

The valley of Ordesa is the soul of the park. Walking its paths, merging with the environment, is an experience that will remain in your memory forever.
