Alquezar
Huesca’s most beautiful village was declared a National Monument in 1931 and its town centre has been an Art Historic Site since 1982.
It was founded by Sheikh Khalaf Ubn Rashid at the beginning of the 9th century and conquered by Christians in 1083.
As you walk through its streets with a guided tour, you will feel like an ancient knight or a medieval lady, as if travelling through time, because time seems to have stood still in this fortress, preserving its beauty and uniqueness.
Old Train Station of Canfranc
A unique landmark such as the impressive Antigua Estacion de Canfranc, which was even named a cultural monument and inaugurated on 28 July 1928, is not to be missed. The last train stopped at the station 46 years ago and it has since become a symbol for its splendid 19th century French palace architecture. Inside you can immerse yourself in a surreal atmosphere thanks to the light streaming in through the windows and the ghostly appearance of the building, which has become the setting for many films and film productions.
Sallent de Gallego
Another very beautiful village in the Pyrenees, surrounded by impressive landscapes and with interesting sights in the historic centre, such as the 16th century Gothic church and the medieval bridge. It is called the Spanish mecca of skiing and is located in the resort of Formigal-Panticosa. We will have dinner in this village and discover its most beautiful streets and corners.
Natural Parc of Western Valleys (los Valles Occidentales)
is probably one of the most cultivated cities in the world. Enjoy spectacular views of the Alhambra from the San Nicolás viewpoint, or stroll through the Albesin district, walk down Daró street (the most beautiful street in the world), visit Granada Cathedral and the Royal Chapel or relax in the Arab baths of the Hammam Al Andalus. And if you add to all this a visit to Spain’s most important monument called the Alhambra, it is hard to find a better trip than this.
Natural Parc of Ordesa & Monte Perdido
Lets take a hike with your new friends in one of the most beautiful areas of the Pyrenees: Ordesa and Monte Perdido. This beautiful natural paradise, located in a natural park, was even declared a World Heritage Site in 1997. At least once in your life, you must see the impressive waterfall, one of the highest in Europe, located in the 15 608-hectare national park.
Ainsa
Ainsa is one of the most beautiful villages in the Pyrenees. It’s very charming and characteristic for the area. With its stone streets, old houses and a magnificent 11th century stone castle, it will transport you to another world. The castle, the only one of its kind, has had an impressive historical significance since the Middle Ages, being the site of political pacts, several conquests and becoming a symbol of the region. The Church of Santa Maria in the square also has great architectural and historical charm.
