Huesca

A Pyrenean province in northern Aragon, where the Ordesa Canyon is a destination for hiking and mountain scenery.

Huesca Province lies in northern Aragon, backed by the main crest of the Pyrenees and bordering France, and forms the heart of the Spanish Pyrenees. Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park is known for its deep canyons, waterfalls and limestone peaks, with the town of Torla as the gateway to the park. Jaca, Hecho-Sabiñánigo and other places also have Romanesque churches and winter ski resorts. Summer and early autumn are best for hiking, and winter for skiing. Access depends mainly on Zaragoza's airport and high-speed rail, followed by a road journey into the mountains.
