Torla
A stone mountain village at the gateway to Ordesa National Park, where slate-roofed houses and a Romanesque church sit against the Mondarruego peak, making it a base camp for hikers.
Torla is the gateway village to Ordesa National Park. Old houses with stone walls and slate roofs stack up the hillside, and from the San Salvador church at the top of the village you can look out toward the Mondarruego peak. The village has a national park visitor center, a shuttle bus stop, outdoor gear shops, and plenty of mountain guesthouses and restaurants. Be sure to try the Aragonese lamb and the stews. In peak season, shuttle buses into the valley depart from the parking lot at the village entrance, so it is recommended to arrive before 8:00 a.m.
