Pyrenees Guide

The Route to Santiago, European Cultural Itinerary, passes through this area. Jaca is the largest town in the valley, rich in cultural and artistic heritage and equipped with top quality tourist infrastructures. Castiello de Jaca is the port of access to the National Reserve and Estate of La Garcipollera. Villanua offers the possibility of visiting its imposing grottos. Canfranc is impressive for its noteworthy international ski station, Candanchu and Astun for their snow tourism range.

Valleys and peaks over three thousand metres high can be visited, such as El Aspe, Balaitus and Vignemale, as well as the naves of Romanesque churches and cathedrals such as those in Jaca and Santa Cruz de la Seros, and the marvellous cloisters in the monastery of San Juan de la Peña, visiting the vault of the Aragonese Royal Family. Also available are courses in the Summer University, ice-skating or a visit to the Pyrenees Folklore Festival in Jaca, along with the modern installations of the aerodrome of Santa Cilia and, of course, fishing, hunting, climbing… no end of enjoyment.
