Living History of the Aragonese Pyrenee

ORDESA & MONTE PERDIDO

55 Km from our Apartahotel you can visit the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, a unique experience in the heart of the Pyrenees.

The park’s perfectly marked routes are ideal for families. As you climb higher, the landscape changes gradually, until you come upon the Horsetail Waterfall at the top, with its crystal clear waters tumbling down from the high mountains.

And if you feel bold enough, you can climb on towards the peak of Monte Perdido.

SAN JUAN DE LA PEÑA

The most remarkable element in the space at San Juan de la Peña is the Old Monastery (11th century), a treasure of the Middle Ages.

There are guided visits which allow the visitor to discover the history and life of the monastery and its dwellers.

The complex is completed by the New Monastery (16th century), which contains the Kingdom of Aragon Interpretation Centre, and the Monastery of San Juan Interpretation Centre.
