JACA AND LOARRE
The Loarre castle is considered the best-preserved Romanesque fortress in Europe. Is in a fairly good state of preservation (except for the part of the old castle of Sancho III of Navarra, which much more deteriorated). Highlights include the small chapel, the crypt of St. Quiteria, located at the entrance (with incredible acoustics), and the majestic church of the castle (of which the whereabouts of the Romanesque paintings are unknown) in which the dome is striking (so unusual in the Romanesque).

Jaca is vivacious joining together modernity, tradition, history, wonderful landscapes, and unique cultural heritage. Being so close to Astún and Candanchú Winter resorts make it the snow capital and its streets are vivacious in any season of the year. Don’t miss the Monastery San Juan de la Peña…
PYRINES AEREA
Aínsa, always welcoming, offers visitors a wide range of cultural and leisure activities. Located in the north of Aragon, close to France border, and 80km from Alquezar, our next stop.
