Hidden among the Aragon valleys, the Spanish city of Huesca still has gorgeous historic architecture in great  condition. The atmosphere in Huesca is very Spanish – it is energetic and unstoppable. The city center still has many landmarks to see but Huesca is a modern and dynamic city. Besides that, the city’s landscape is very diverse. No other settlement in Spain has such an interesting terrain. The Pyrenees protect the city from strong winds on the north, and the southern side of the city borders with Los Monegros, a comarca (semidesert) with the rough climate.  After that we will drive to rich cultural heritage set in stunning natural surroundings.  Alquezar is in the province of Huesca, in the foothills of the Pyrenees, within the Sierra y Cañones de Guara Nature Reserve. It is the perfect place for sports like canyoning, hiking, horse riding, and mountain biking. This village also has examples of rock art at the Vero River Cultural Park, designated World Heritage. Also outstanding are its castle, the Santa María la Mayor collegiate church (the region's most visited monument) with its cloister of Romanesque capitals and its organ, along with many shrines. It is also well worth a trip to the Casa Fabián Ethnological Museum, to get to know the history of this village and the Somontano region, known for its excellent wines. From here we will go to Ruta De Las Pasarelas. This pleasant and gentle route takes the visitor into the final stretch of the River Vero canyon, where the harmony between rock and water can be fully appreciated.  In this beautiful environment it is possible to gain an insight into the huge efforts man has made over the years to harness the power of the river water.  The spectacular footbridges are safe and easy to cross and allow access to this unique natural corner of Alquézar. You will soon come across the first of the wooden bridges, slotted between the Castibián crag to the left, and the walls of the castle on the right.  A total of seven stretches of footbridge make up the descent to the River Vero.  As you venture deeper, the splendour of the Barranco de la Fuente (Canyon of the Spring) in revealed, characterized by its many small caves and a vegetation adapted to the damp and fresh conditions of the gorges. After that we will return to Zaragoza.
